Music, Visual and Performing Arts

Dunbar School has a rich tradition of art programs and a firm belief in the value of arts in the curriculum. The arts are integrated in to all parts of the curriculum and also offered after school through our After School Enrichment Program. The classes have included arts, crafts, dance, music, sports, technology, performing arts and more.
