We believe that just like imagination learning has no boundaries. Student success and growth is achieved when children discover their own talents and interests through music, art, drama and dance. We believe that the arts serve as a vehicle for teaching and learning. We value the development of community partnerships that enrich our students' artistic and academic experiences. We are committed to improving student achievement and to helping all students realize their full potential. Student growth is enhanced when staff members and parents share responsibility in the development and education of the child.

Visual Arts education at Afton is aimed at supporting and extending studies across curricular areas using a variety of 2D and 3D media and techniques such as printmaking, drawing, painting, sculpture, fabric arts, and digitally created images.  By encouraging qualities such as perseverance, open-mindedness,confidence, creativity, and problem solving skills, the study of the Elements of Visual Art and the creation of visual art enhances academic success and builds positive social skills.

Afton students explore sounds in time during music classes. Our school musicians sing, move, respond to music, compose, and play instruments including Orff orchestrations, handbells, tone chimes, recorder and ukulele. Our students have performed at Edmonton Public Schools Night of Music, the Alberta Legislature, the International Airport as well as at annual school performances. Music rounds out the four arts experiences at Afton School of the Arts.
