Cosgrove's interdisciplinary curriculum allows teachers to develop projects that encompass many concepts in English, math, social studies, science and technology which integrate students' knowledge and skills and allow them to apply that knowledge. Flex-time is also built into their daily schedule so that students can receive additional help in any subject area if needed. The Library Media Center is equipped with ever-improving technological resource facilities. Media specialists provide students with the opportunity to learn sophisticated search strategies, improve their information finding skills, and become better prepared for technologically driven high school, college and workforce environments. To facilitate this further, Cosgrove students participate in a variety of Technology projects that correlate with science and math theories.
Students continue to develop visual communication skills in art classes, creating more refined work.
An increased knowledge of materials and techniques is stressed to further equip the student artist with the methods for drawing, printmaking, painting, sculpting, etc. Competitions, awards and displays of student art work in the school and in the community are ongoing ways of recognizing the level of excellence, which our students strive for. Cosgrove's Instrumental Program is designed to promote the development of instrumental technique and musical knowledge, and to foster an appreciation for the performing and creative arts. Throughout the year, students have the opportunity to perform in a variety of settings including Concert and Symphonic Bands, chamber ensembles, Jazz Ensemble and solo and ensemble festivals. Students are also encouraged to share their talents with the community through an annual outreach project and Memorial Day Performance.
