Studies show the significant impact of the arts on your students’ academic performance.

But did you know that the arts dramatically influence how they feel about themselves and the world around them?

The same studies proving the value of the arts to grades and test scores also tell us that young people exposed to the arts in school are more self-disciplined, socially conscious, and empathetic and tolerant of others. Put simply, art-rich schools are not only more likely to create better students; they also have a greater chance of creating better people.

We can help.

As the largest provider of preK-12 arts education of any arts center in America, Woodruff Arts Center recognizes the power and potential of engaging young people in the arts. We connect students in every grade level with professional artists and arts educators from all over the world. Hundreds of programs, workshops, classes and residencies are available through Woodruff’s award-winning divisions: Alliance Theatre, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, High Museum of Art and Young Audiences. Many are curriculum based. Most can be brought directly to your school or community location.

Let us help you. As you plan your classes, use this site to find exceptional ways to enrich your curriculum with the arts. Making a difference often happens in the smallest ways, and making a difference is what you are all about.
