Report by Americans for the Arts Young people who participate regularly in the arts (three hours a day on three days each week through one full year) are four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement, to participate in a math and science fair or to win an award for writing an essay or poem than children who do not participate.
From arts integration to infusion… Team teaching between related arts and core academic teachers to purposefully teach two sets of standards- academic and arts.
Our Goal The goal of Central Academy of the Arts is to offer a uniquely different experience for our students. Students will learn core academic content in the context of arts integration and infusion.
