Fillmore Teachers are in the News
The Sunday, April 28, Style section of the Washington Post had a feature article about Brother Ah (Robert Northern), Fillmore East music teacher.  It highlights his long and varied career and his love of teaching.

NBC channel 4 is featuring Simone Jacobson, Fillmore West and East dance and spoken word teacher, in its month-long highlight of Asian American Pacific Islanders vignettes in May.
How exciting to have these two practicing artists as members of the Fillmore staff.

The core of Fillmore's philosophy is a belief that all children should receive a skill-based, quality arts education. Fillmore serves over 3,500 DCPS students at two sites.

For our new parents here are a few key points:

  • Students from participating schools travel by DCPS buses to the Fillmore site on “their day” and gain experience with a wide variety of visual and performing arts courses.
  • Participating school teachers accompany students on the bus to Fillmore, and then have a private space to use for their planning.
  • Second graders and below take an hour of visual arts and an hour of music, dance, or drama each week at Fillmore. Also, second graders have a hands-on experience with the violin or recorder.
  • Students in grades 3 and up choose from electives like strings, winds, percussion, dance, drama, musical theater, digital art, general art and design, painting, ceramics, and sculpture.
  • Fillmore teachers will visit classrooms during the first week of school to assist students in their class choices.
  • At the start of the year you and your child should discuss which classes he/she may want to take.

DID YOU KNOW:

  • FAC Student Art is also on display in Participating schools.
  • You are welcome to sit in on a class at Fillmore. Just call the office to let us know.

As we begin the new school year we are excited to welcome Burrville, Drew and Marie-Reed Elementary Schools to the Fillmore family of schools. We look forward to a wonderful year of creativity with these students.

There are many opportunities for exhibits, concerts, performances, and field trips. Visiting artists provide additional enrichment. 

Fillmore also serves the greater metropolitan area through after-school classes and a summer arts camp at the Fillmore West site.
