Santa Rosa Charter School for the Arts
Arts Enhancement
Spring 2014
Overview:
SRCSA is pleased to announce its arts enhancement afterschool courses for spring 2014, facilitated by the School for
the Arts Community Organization! Our after-school
program is designed to provide families who wish to
further supplement their child’s art education with a
variety of reasonably priced, extracurricular courses
conveniently offered on campus. The after-school arts
enhancement program is separate from and in addition to
the broad arts curriculum already offered during the
school day to all students. The tuition for the program goes
directly to pay the instructors and sustain the program
(funds do not go to the school or SACO).
Scholarships:
A limited number of partial scholarships are available for
families who are facing financial hardships. If you would
like to apply for a scholarship, fill out the class registration
form and attach a brief letter explaining your request.
Schedule:
Classes start the week of February 24, 2014. Theater
Games will have 10 sessions total; the choir classes will
have 12 sessions. There will be no classes on days when
school is not in session (March 17–21).
Disfruta:
For convenience, the Disfruta schedule is also attached.
This after-school Spanish language program held at SRCSA
follows the same schedule as Arts Enhancement, beginning
on February 24 and running for a total of 10 class sessions.
The Arts and Crafts class begins on April 4 and includes
five class sessions.

CHORAL PROGRAM
SACO is pleased to introduce SRCSA’s new after-school
choral program, which is partially funded by last year’s
Silent Auction fundraiser. This program is a pilot
designed to bring additional choral music to SRCSA.
The after-school choral program will provide students
the opportunity to sing contemporary as well as classic
material as a group. While good fun and exposure to
different music is the primary goal, students will also
learn about breathing, vowel placement, ear training
and other tools to help them not only sing together as a
group, but to generally be present and aware of their
body’s as well as their minds. There will be attention on
themselves as an individual and how that works within
the group. In this program (especially for Grades 6 - 8)
there will also be emphasis on the culture and history of
the music. Not only names, and times, but empathy for
where it came from, and what it is saying.
