Arts

The role that arts education plays in the school day has evolved over time, from being a subject with intrinsic value as a part of a well-rounded education, to being an instrument to improve school engagement and academic performance, to being a means of fostering social-emotional development.

The potential value of arts education lies at the crossroads of these roles. It is also shaped by a widely shared cultural understanding of art as being away to express emotions and ideas to others, as well as the emerging research consensus about the deep interconnections among cognitive, emotional, and social-relational aspects of human functioning.

Together, we have developed a 2025-2030 Strategic Arts Education Plan.
