Middle School Offerings

The BW Community Arts School aims to support students in middle school as they begin new artistic endeavors or choose to commit to diving deeper into their artistic passion(s). From private lessons to classes, camps and ensembles, there are a number of opportunities for students to engage with our expert faculty and be encouraged by a supportive, nurturing environment. We understand how important this stage of development is for young artists and promise to support them as they grow as individual artists.

Visual art classes and instruction at BW’s Community Art School provide challenging courses and a creative outlet for students of all experience levels. Refine your skills as an artist, or discover a completely new art form as a beginner to expand your skills. As an extension of Baldwin Wallace University, courses leverage resources and expertise of the University to provide the community with a high-level of instruction. Several offerings are available to middle school students, including jewelry making and drawing.

Creating a solid musical foundation for students to succeed through instrumental education is something we take seriously. Whether it be through private instruction, through the CAS Suzuki Center or in a CAS Youth Orchestra (grades 4-12), students in middle school can begin forming habits of quality and appropriate practice. Students in middle school can also begin participating in our Band and String Camps in the summer season. Our faculty use a wide-variety of teaching techniques and tools to meet the needs of every individual student.
