Page Academy

A private TK-8th
arts-integrated school.

At Page, the arts are how the academics are taught. Students perform what they study, build what they study, and bring finished work to a real audience.

The Method

Children learn deepest when they make the work themselves.

At most schools, project-based learning means students study a topic and then make a poster about it. At Page, every academic project produces creative work. Research becomes performance. Science becomes sculpture. History becomes oral storytelling.

The arts are not enrichment around the academics; they are how the academics are taught, transitional kindergarten through eighth grade.

The Translation

Every academic project produces creative work.

Read the full method
By eighth grade, a Page student has turned research into performance, science into sculpture, and history into oral storytelling, prototyped inventions for real judges, and performed original work in front of public audiences every year since kindergarten. That's what nine years of arts-integrated learning produces.

History

Founded in 1908. Family-run since.

The Modern Form

College preparatory, project-based.

Page evolves into a college preparatory and adopts the project-based, arts-integrated method that has defined the school ever since. The family stays in operating roles into the second generation.
