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.
Here are a few highlights of
