Experience the Magic of Collaborative Art

Social media, violence in schools & absent parenting often make it challenging for children to see THE BIG PICTURE of being happy & successful in their lives. Finding ways to engage students in their education is key to keeping them in school and guiding them on a path to academic success. The arts, through their hands-on nature and as an outlet for personal expression, capture student interest. Combining these traits with the cognitive processes that are supported through arts learning formulates a recipe for student success. 

There is a growing body of research demonstrating that the arts make a considerable contribution in helping students achieve success in school, work and life.

Students who participate in arts learning experiences often improve their achievement in other realms of learning and life. Studies show students with high arts involvement perform better on standardized achievement tests than students with low arts involvement. Moreover, the high arts-involved students also watch fewer hours of television, participate in more community service and are less bored in school. The arts nurture a motivation to learn by emphasizing active engagement, disciplined and sustained attention, persistence, and risk taking. Studies further show students at risk of not successfully completing their high school education cite their participation in the arts as a reason for staying in school.
