INNOVATIVE ARTS ENVIRONMENT
Join a distinguished academic faculty in a fully integrated performing arts teaching program serving grades TK through 12 - small group, multi-age, team taught, inquiry based.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Individuals demonstrating active leadership and innovation capacity in their field of study may apply to join the RenArts staff as Fellows. Fellowship priority is focused on areas of active research for RenArts programs.
PROGRAM GOALS
The Post Graduate Fellowship Program has grown out of the desire of RenArts’ administration to reach beyond traditional conceptions of ‘school community’ in order to foster ongoing creative and intellectual ties between RenArts’ students, families, faculty, graduates, and the wider artistic and academic communities.
Through this program we are able to expand the artistic and academic community available to RenArts students and faculty. By working in conjunction with RenArts’ professional in-house Music and Dance Ensembles (currently in development stages), the program provides RenArts students the opportunity to study alongside and apprentice a more complete spectrum of training and performance models, ranging from beginning to intermediate to advanced to pre-professional to professional levels of technical and artistic expertise.
FELLOWS BENEFIT FROM
-
Working as active members of an extended learning community, accessing unique opportunities for reflection on their own growth and development as artists and intellectuals.
-
Accessing opportunities to conduct research and design innovative programs.
-
Engaging in real-life exploration and sharing of their developing artistic and intellectual skills.
-
The opportunity to build employment history, over time, in a stable and high-level work environment.
-
The opportunity to work with RenArts’ faculty in assessing and fine-tuning the unique curricular approaches through shared consideration of how real-world application of work habits and skills developed at RenArts benefits students in post-secondary, post graduate contexts.
