Shanghai Livingston American School

Vision:

The faculty and staff of SLAS will do whatever it takes to achieve our vision of preparing students for

success in college and beyond.

The traits of a model SLAS student are:

1) Be an active learner – the Arts provide students with a variety of ways to actively participate in

their learning. Today’s performance is the culmination of the objectives that have been taught

to your student in ARTS (music and dance) class. A multitude of tests and studies show that

students participate in the ARTS particularly music are more academically successful.

2) Become a member in a community of learners. Our students have learned to collaborate and

cooperate together to produce group performances which will make them better team

members, as well as more confident and better communicators. These skills are highly prized

in the adult world.

3) Be a critical thinker – Performing arts skills allow students to think and act on their own – and

become confident in their decision making process. Participation in the ARTS helps students

be creative. It also helps students organized, and multitasking individuals.

4) Become a thoughtful participant in reflection. This is the primary goal for Performing Arts

students. All students have the opportunity to assess their own progress and continue to form

goals to become better in their craft. This is a tremendous life skill that can be used in many

areas.

In conclusion, we’d like to share that the performing arts students of SLAS have a wonderful

opportunity to enforce and fuse the SLAS Core Values into their classes, rehearsals, and

performances as well as into their everyday lives.

As a Performing Arts Student, we are:

Creative Thinkers Confident Individuals

Proficient Communicators Compassionate Citizens

We hope you enjoy today’s performance. We thank each and every one of you for supporting

your student’s performances!

Sincerely,

The Fine Arts Teachers and Administration of SLAS
