Where every child’s creativity can grow
The Atelier™ is a Stepping Stone School concept that goes beyond simply providing art supplies. Guided by an experienced arts educator, children study great artists, architects and role models, then create original work of their own, building confidence, creativity and problem-solving skills along the way.
What children gain in the Atelier
Art and design give children new ways to think, express themselves and connect with others.
Open-ended materials invite children to explore their own ideas instead of copying a single answer.
Designing and building teaches children to plan, test and try again.
Shared projects help children listen, compromise and build on each other’s ideas.
Monthly role models bring kindness, perseverance and other traits to life.
Three studios, one creative journey
Each month, children meet a historic figure who models that month’s Kindness and Empathy trait.
Children study influential artists, then create original pieces in that artist’s style, surrounded by a library and cozy reading nooks.
Open-ended building materials let children study famous structures, then design and build their own.
An experienced arts educator leads the Atelier and guides each child’s work.
