Where Creativity Leads The Way

  • Kids working in a group

     

    Through arts integration and design thinking, our students grow into bold thinkers and collaborative creators ready for high school and beyond.

    At our school, creativity is at the core of everything we do. With art and design woven into every subject and hands-on electives that spark curiosity, students learn to think boldly, work collaboratively, and embrace their unique strengths. Our approach challenges students to think deeply, solve real-world problems, and engage with learning in meaningful ways. Through guest artists, dynamic electives, and a focus on process over perfection, we help every child discover their individual voice— and prepare them for the challenges and opportunities ahead.

    Every child is a creator. Every day is a canvas. Future changemakers start here.

    EM3 is part of the Arts Plus Pathway and our school is open to any family in Wake County.
