Philosophy



At Stevens School of Performing Arts the instruction is based on Progressivism and Social Reconstrctionism. At SSPA, we believe that students should prepare for the world after they graduate after high school, meaning that students will focus in the problems that are going on in the world today such as, natural disasters,the increasing and decreaseing of HIV/AIDS, money issues that our country has,etc. In science students will come up with their own experiments, science fair projects and much more. In math, students will perpare for college, meaning that they will have people come in from different colleges and teach them what they will learn in their math classes when they get to college. In English class, students will be able to pick their own book and write their own version based on that book or write or create a documentary about themselves or somebody else. SSPA believes that each and every student should have a say so in what they learn and teachers should help them learn what they want to learn and much more. Progressivism and social Reconstructionism helps students become better artists by helping them prepare for the real world so that no business or anything won't eat them up and spit them back out. SSPA believes that any student will succeed if they follow the philosophy behind SSPA.
