Fine Arts
We recognize and celebrate the diverse backgrounds, needs, and strengths of all our students and strive to provide them with rich, cross-curricular experiences that foster joy and promote life-long learning. In all K-5 Renton music classes, students sing, play instruments, move, and actively listen to and analyze music.

Elementary Music
We cultivate an enduring appreciation for music through creating, performing, responding to, and connecting music to our world. As a community, students will develop the ability to engage in music learning with confidence, perseverance, and self-awareness.
Secondary Fine Arts
The Renton School District Secondary Fine Arts program is a high-quality educational program for students in grades 6-12. Our programs develop the whole person through curricula that integrates technical, interpretive, and performance skills. We aim to develop students academically, artistically, and socially so that they leave our schools as independent, cooperative, responsible, and creative young adults with a lifelong interest and ability in learning in the arts. We believe that these skills will prepare our students to pursue further educational goals (in and outside the arts) and allow them to contribute to the life and well being of society as a whole.
