Abingdon Elementary emphasizes higher-level thinking, an appreciation for learning, the use of art integration, and innovative literacy strategies throughout its instructional programs. As a Kennedy Center CETA (Changing Education Through the Arts) school, art integration accentuates the instructional program by incorporating the arts into teaching and learning. Students use creative processes to build knowledge and understanding by integrating art and technology in the curriculum.

Abingdon enhances the integration of art and technology throughout the school by providing specialized classes in Living Histories, Science Lab, and Theatre Arts. Project GIFT challenges students to use multiple intelligences to solve real-world concerns. Abingdon Elementary specializes in many school-wide activities.

Families are encouraged to be active in their children’s education to promote a wide array of purposeful learning experiences that encourage every child to become a lifelong learner.
