Our Vision
When teachers teach the arts, and connect them in authentic ways with other core subjects, all children thrive. We believe including the arts in education teaches to the whole child, engages all learning modalities, and leads to the development of powerful learning habits.
Arts Impact is committed to building key 21st Century Skills for both teachers and students that include creative and critical thinking, collaboration, communication, growth mindset, and perseverance, all vital to closing the opportunity gap.
