Our VIsION
The vision of Rockdale VAPA Magnet is nurturing the potential of all children by having them CREATE. Through Collaboration, Rigor, Empathy, Arts, Talents, and Engagement, we build a community committed to weaving the arts and standard curricula together to create a richer and more meaningful learning experience for our students. The visual arts, vocal and instrumental music, drama and dance are discretely taught at each grade level, and are also integrated throughout the curriculum.
