Numerous studies have shown that participation in the arts promotes positive academic, social, and emotional development in students. Our school programs support local educational institutions in providing invaluable arts enrichment opportunities to all students. Programs typically include a school day assembly, field trip, or residency along with free tickets to a performance at SPAC.
