Why Fine Arts?

Everybody knows that fine arts classes are interesting and fun but did you know education in the arts enhances academic instruction? Numerous studies have demonstrated a strong connection between student participation in fine arts programs (music, drama, dance and visual arts) and student achievement in the following major areas: reading and language development, mathematics, fundamental thinking skills and capacities, motivation and effective social behavior. Examination of SAT scores shows that students of the arts routinely outperform their nonarts peers.
