School Reviews
5 12/17/2016
We chose Beaumont because it offers a larger variety of arts courses than our neighborhood school. My child gets theater, dance, music, art and library and PE. Plus, BMAhas a museum partnership so there are frequent trips to local museums and museum personnel coming to BMA. The school was so great, that after 2 years of my daughter attending, I left my teaching job in Oak Ridge and came to Beaumont! Finally, BMA just won a $100,000 grant and will be creating an arts themed playground!
