Arts integration is the methodology Page has used since the school's evolution in the mid-1960s. Rather than treating the arts as enrichment alongside academics, Page teaches academic content through making, performance, and presentation. Research becomes performance. Science becomes sculpture. History becomes oral storytelling.
The Creators Program is the dedicated arts curriculum that runs alongside the academics from transitional kindergarten through eighth grade. Students rotate through four creative domains, performing arts, visual arts and design, production and technology, and the business of creative work, then develop a primary track in middle school that culminates in an eighth-grade capstone project presented to a real audience.
Spanish instruction begins in kindergarten and continues through eighth grade.
Page uses one-to-one digital instruction in school-age classrooms, with students working on devices alongside hands-on creative work, written assignments, and physical builds. Technology is one tool in the curriculum, not the entire classroom.
Page graduates attend many of the top private high schools in Southern California and have gone on to colleges and universities across the country. The college preparatory orientation Page adopted in the mid-1960s shapes how the school prepares its students for what comes next.
