Redding School of the Arts II opened in 1999 to provide the community with an alternative to traditional schools with an emphasis on the visual and performing arts. The school serves students in Kindergarten through 8th grades. The school offers a state based curriculum with collaborative learning.

Along with core subjects, the school offers a variety of other extracurricular activities that rely heavily on visual and performing arts. This is for those students that succeed in their academic skills including at home studies. Students love these classes, but explained they truly miss participating in sports and would love to see a few added.

Parents are thrilled with the curriculum and the teachers, as they have integrated a Mandarin immersion program even with the young students. Parents feel that the school is quite special as it focuses on the ensuring even at a young age that students have a variety of options. The homework load is heavy, but that drive shows through the success of the students.
