The Pennsylvania Art Education Association (PAEA) has recognized Erie Day School as an Outstanding Visual Arts Community.
This honor celebrates schools throughout Pennsylvania for demonstrating exceptional commitment to visual arts education.
Erie Day School is one of two schools in the Erie area to receive this recognition. Criteria for this recognition include standards-based art education at all grade levels, dedicated instructional space and resources, professional development for art educators, and opportunities for students to participate fully in visual arts programming.
“At Erie Day School, we believe educating the whole child means giving students meaningful opportunities to create, explore, problem-solve and express themselves,” said Donald Fuller, Head of School. “The arts are not an extra here. They are an important part of the well-rounded education we believe every child deserves.”
