We take a different approach to education at Creative City. Just like our name suggests, we like to think outside the box and be more imaginative when teaching and keeping our students engaged. That's why we use two unique teaching methods in our approach: place-based education and cooperative learning. We don't just sit at desks all day at Creative City. We get up. We go outside. We move around. We learn through adventure and play, and through exploring the world around us. For our K-5 students, school is an adventure! Place-based means we connect children's learning to the local environment and community. Our teachers use our Baltimore surroundings as a classroom, taking students on field trips to nearby Baltimore Museum of Art, Cylburn Arboretum, and other historical sites.  Our students observe and engage with the world in ways that accentuate their classroom learning. It makes everything more real. As a tuition-free public charter school, this approach makes learning more meaningful and relevant to students without the overhead of hefty tuition.
Our teachers are passionate and create lesson plans that promote student cooperation. This approach ensures learners build essential skills while also mastering academic concepts. We also assist students in our free before and aftercare. Creative City believes every child deserves an education tailored to their unique learning style, personality, and interests. That's why we incorporate place-based education and cooperative learning into our curriculum. These teaching methods create a dynamic learning environment that prepares students for success in and out of the classroom. Want to learn more?

A passionate and nurturing teacher who understands the power of music to inspire, uplift and motivate students. Mr. Soto is a gem of a teacher. His method and dedication to teaching our students earned him the “Beacon of Light” teacher award—given to educators who “go above and beyond to make a profound impact in the lives of their students.”  Creative City Public Charter School music teacher Mr. Soto holding an award. Being a tuition-free public charter school that focuses on infusing creativity in our teaching model, Mr. Soto’s hands-on approach to teaching students music engages them from the start of class to the end. His secret? Allowing children to do what they love to do...play! Mr. Soto’s interactive music lessons keep students engaged throughout the class. His strategy is to let children enjoy playing while maintaining a serious and intentional approach to learning. Students enjoy playing various instruments and games, focusing on purposeful learning.

It goes beyond learning to play an instrument or sing. Infusing music in early education helps students develop essential life skills like teamwork, discipline, goal setting and even math, believe it or not (sheet music requires a real-time calculation to know how long to play a note or take a rest). Music education can improve memory and coordination. Students of Mr. Soto often become more focused, confident and expressive in other areas of life because of his encouragement and direction. It’s a rewarding scenario for everyone! Check out our Instagram for more images of our student musicians in action. You can also learn more about the rest of our curriculum on our website.
