Arts and PreK-12 Schools
The arts are an essential part of primary and secondary education. Arts-rich academic programs introduce students to inspiring artistic traditions, sharpen their critical awareness, raise the intellectual culture of the school, revitalize teaching, and foster higher achievement in all subjects, including math and reading.
