Arts Education Yields Lifelong Success

Did you know that students who study the arts have significantly higher verbal and math SAT scores than those with no experiences with the arts? According to the National Governors Association for Best Practices, children who study the arts are: four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement; three times more likely to be elected to class office in their schools; four times more likely to participate in a math or science fair; and three times more likely to win an award for school attendance.
