ABOUT US SCHOOLS ARTISTS STUDENTS RESOURCES SUPPORT US



High School

Through complex projects in dance, music, theater and the visual arts, students learn to take small steps to reach big goals. They become more aware of their individual strengths and understand how they function as part of a group. Students increase their ability to grasp abstract concepts, assimilate information, integrate learning from various subject areas and translate their thoughts into artistic expressions that have personal significance.

Through the arts, high school students learn:

  • Focused perception, creative expression of ideas and feelings, critical thinking skills and decision-making tools
  • Physical skills that connect with intellectual and emotional expression
  • How to recognize each group member’s strengths, negotiate roles and build leadership skills
  • To give and receive constructive criticism
  • To consolidate their sense of identity while growing and taking artistic risks
ArtsConnection’s programs relate especially well to themes from English and Global Studies curricula, including:
  • Ancient, Mediieval and Renaissance cultures
  • Immigration
  • Revolutions
  • American History (Colonial Era, Civil War)
