Our mission is to support arts in education by developing and offering programs to in-school and home-school teachers and students based on an arts-integrated curriculum that is inclusive of a variety of artistic genres, cultural affairs, academic subjects, and innovative technologies.
Our programs offer individuals the opportunities to present ideas and different points of view, gaining insight into themselves and their world.
Our means of program development depends on coupling core academic standards with core art standards, therefore providing an art-based learning experience.

The Dynamics of Art Education
Teaching through the Arts
Arts integration is an approach to teaching in which students construct and demonstrate understanding through an art form, Students engage in a creative process which connects an art form and another subject and meets evolving objectives.” As suggested by the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, this can occur in three ways:
-
Arts as a curriculum is when students study specific art forms, typically within classes.
-
Art-enhanced curriculum, which focuses on the arts as a way to enhance or explore a curricular concept. This form of arts integration doesn’t require teachers to have specific training in the different art forms.
-
Arts-integrated curriculum, which is where the arts are the methods for exploring the curriculum. In this style, lessons may have dual objectives that include the art form and the content knowledge.
