First Second Third Fourth Fifth Sixth Construction Calendar Clisby Fine Arts Magnet School opened in the fall of 1983 as the second Bibb County Magnet School. It is located temporarily in the old Miller building at 1270 Birch Street. The original building, in the beautiful Vineville Historic District, is under construction scheduled for completion in 2002. The school serves students from kindergarten through sixth grade. Students receive instruction in the basic curriculum which is enhanced through the arts.
Students attend fine arts classes in addition to the integration of arts throughout the curriculum.
For example, students studying animals in their classroom may draw pictures, sing songs or dramatize animal stories as part of the fine arts curriculum. We are creatures of feeling as well as thought, and schools that recognize this basic fact are better schools. Science and technology do not tend to our spirit. The arts do. That is their role.
