Arts learning – which includes dance, music, theatre, and visual and media arts – is an essential part of a comprehensive education for all students, pre- K-12, to prepare them for college, career and life.

Arts education teaches students to cultivate a global perspective, as they experience arts that are culturally and linguistically responsive and relevant. 

Arts education supports the social and emotional learning of every student, building greater self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision making, lifting and promoting student voice.
