Visual Arts

Arts education is an important part of a child’s education in the Paradise Valley Unified School District.  Thanks to the support of the district Governing Board and the community, Paradise Valley Schools lead the way in fine arts education.  Courses and co-curricular activities in music, the visual arts, speech, drama and dance challenge our students.  The curriculum for all arts classes is based on the Arizona Academic Standards for the Arts.  Click here to view the Fine Arts Department Website.

Computers

Although computers are used to enhance learning in many subject areas, students are also expected to master technology-related objectives.  These objectives form the foundation for the acquisition of lifelong technology skills and concepts which include keyboarding, computer systems, vocabulary and ethics. Applications include word processing, spreadsheets, databases, drawing, painting, multimedia presentations, email and Internet browsers.  Click here for additional information

Physical Education

We at Hidden Hills believe that physical activity is important to every child’s physical and mental health. We offer stretching, non-competitive game play, and miscellaneous activities that improve overall coordination, involve interaction with peers and introduce various sports along with integrating state standards and character education traits.
