The school also offers instructional activities in the areas of dance, theatre and visual arts and stresses creativity and developmentally appropriate practices in all grades.

Dearington Elementary
School for Innovation
Economics, Spanish and science are the three focus areas that designate Dearington as an innovative school. From Kindergarten through second grade students focus on language and culture of Spanish speaking countries. In third through fifth grades students learn the basics of the Spanish language. A fully equipped lab motivates children during their science classes. And to emphasize the importance of good finances, the school is set up like a mini-society where all students are citizens with paying jobs. The students can use their “earnings” for prizes at the school store.
