About

Origins prepares students for success in college by building on strengths and being attentive to individual needs. We make it a priority to know our students and their families through our advisory program. Our inquiry-based curriculum asks students to develop questions, conduct research, and prepare in-depth projects that exhibit their learning. Origins' challenging liberal arts education is grounded in small group work, reading analysis, and an emphasis on writing. Students present portfolios of work to panels of teachers and community members yearly. In addition, our robust arts program offers students multiple outlets for expressing their creativity. At Origins, our students graduate as active, confident learners, and problem-solvers.

Art
Origins High School's arts program consists of visual arts and music. Our visual arts program begins with the 9th graders in art and music foundations as a basis for musical and visual arts knowledge. Students can then choose trimester long electives in visual arts or music in 10th, 11th, and 12th grade. These electives are Ceramics 1 and 2, Digital Photography 1 and 2, Darkroom Photography, Stop Motion Animation, Drawing, Painting and Printmaking, Instrumental Music 1 and 2, Digital Composition, Portfolio, and Sustainable Fashion. Our program offerings are as diverse as our student population, and we continue to try and expand our offerings. We are very proud of the amount of offerings we have here at our school and are looking to expand from our original visual arts programming into other disciplines, as we have begun to do in music. Our students learn in a project- based learning environment that is strongly supported by the school at large. We use culturally responsive pedagogy to reach all students and standards-based grading for equity in assessment. Our courses build on one another and strive to prepare students for the use of the arts in their college lives and beyond, whether it be a profession in the arts, design, composition, or other such disciplines, or a strong use of the arts as a tool in business, as a means of communication, or a vehicle for mental health and wellness.
