Performing Arts at Fountainhead School has a compulsory and an optional component.

The arts are important areas of learning in our program. Students will learn the disciplines of visual arts, music and drama, as well as learning about the arts (the skills and processes involved) and through the arts (artists, perspectives, themes and ideas using the arts). In all areas of learning, the school values imagination, creativity and original thinking. This may be especially evident through the arts. The creative disciplines of visual arts, music and drama are closely connected to each other, as well as having strong links to other disciplines. The creative process is seen as a driving force in learning through inquiry.

The arts are built into the curriculum as essential areas of learning, not added on as optional extras.

a. The Compulsory Program consists of

1. Visual Arts: The visual arts expectations are arranged into four strands: creative processes, elements of art and design, visual arts in society and reflection and appreciation. Each of the strands is addressed separately, although in practice they are interactive and interrelated elements.

2. Music: The music scope and sequence framework identifies the major expectations considered essential in the PYP. These expectations are arranged into four strands: performing, creating and composing notation and listening and appreciation. The performing strand is organized into sub-strands of singing and playing instruments. Each of the strands is addressed separately, although in practice they are interactive and interrelated elements.

3. Drama-Dance: The drama scope and sequence framework identifies the major expectations considered essential in the PYP. These expectations are arranged into six strands: creative exploration and expression, technical incorporation, performance, personal and social development, reflection, evaluation and appreciation and drama in society. Each of the strands is addressed separately, although in practice they are interactive and interrelated elements.

b. Arts Special (Optional component): Fountainhead currently offers Keyboard, Guitar, Tabla, Vocal, Visual Arts and Dance, out of which students choose one. Fountainhead also plans to start before & after school performing arts activities from the coming session apart from offering more specialization areas such as pottery, fine arts.
