Residency-Students get a hands on learning experience, especially 7th graders studying South Asia (targets 5 areas in keeping with the NC Courses of Study). Residency covers values and beliefs of people, environment in which people live, social organization, people’s occupations and changes.

What are students saying about Rangoli Art
Rangoli was fun because even though I cannot draw it was fun to make something out of nothing.
