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 elective, students learn to think boldly and work collaboratively in a rigorous environment. 

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

    Learn more about our arts and design approach to learning.
