China Grove Elementary is a neighborhood school serving a diverse student population. The school is deeply committed to engagement, creativity, and multi-modal learning, which led to its decision to adopt the A+ Arts Integration Program in 2018-19. Over time, A+ integration has become the identity of the school, shaping how students learn, how teachers teach, and how interventions and support services are designed.

Three Core Beliefs That Shape Learning at China Grove Elementary:

1. Integration Makes Learning Meaningful – Learning across disciplines helps students see connections in the real world.

2. Engagement Drives Success – When students are actively creating, they stay invested in their education.

3. Every Child is an Artist & Thinker – Expression through the arts builds confidence, communication skills, and problem-solving abilities.
