CAPERS FOR KIDS
CREATIVE ARTS
For many years, Oak Hill Academy has partnered with Capers For Kids to make creative arts an important part of the learning experience. Capers for Kids is a creative arts organization specializing in creative drama and visual art classes for children ages 3 to 14. Founded in 1978 by Sherry (Boo) Capers, she retains a staff of professional educators who hold degrees in their respective art areas, selectively placing her instructors in programs where natural connections between teachers and students can be made. The result is a unique student/teacher chemistry that nurtures the creative spirit of the children.
For more than twenty years Capers for Kids Creative Arts School set the standard for drama and art education in the Dallas area, believing that the skills children acquire through drama and art will enable them to better enjoy and understand the human experience. Capers specialized educators provide an environment conducive to an atmosphere of trust. When children feel safe and certain they will not be criticized or judged, they are free to create.
"Education is concerned with individuals; the arts are concerned with the individuality of individuals. The differences among people are often most clearly reflected through the arts; an opportunity for actually "doing" the arts is sometimes the wisest way of developing individuality." Brian Way, Development Through Drama
