Admissions
Agassiz is a neighborhood school and a Fine and Performing Arts Magnet Cluster Program (FPAMCP) school. FPAMCP is a network of arts-focused elementary schools in CPS. Arts teachers at FPAMCP schools work with students and classroom teachers to provide intensive and integrated instruction in the arts.
Students attending FPAMCP schools:
- Learn and grow in multiple art forms: dance, drama, media arts, music, and/or visual art
- Develop cultural awareness and understanding
- Make connections between arts learning and other subject areas (curriculum integration)
- Are exposed to arts opportunities and environments, both in and out of the Chicago community, whether through visiting artist partnerships, performances, or museum trips
