STEAM
CCATE fully embraces the benefit of incorporating art into our STEM curricula. Numerous studies suggest that Incorporating art programs into traditional STEM curricula improves the happiness and well-being of students. In addition, it is linked to positive cognitive development and an increase in literacy and math skills. Through these positive impacts, CCATE students will become more rounded individuals equipped with creativity and problem-solving skills
Arts
Art is a powerful tool for self expression, representation, reclaiming of stories, and elevation of our community’s voice and experience. Through weekly classes, students will explore and express their cultural heritage and individual identities through painting, muralism, photography, and variety of other artistic means
