KID smART Schools
KID smART Schools are places where the creative energies of children and teachers interact to unleash exciting potential for learning. Leaders and teachers at KID smART Schools commit to change their pedagogy by integrating the arts in teaching across the curriculum. Schools participate in both the Artist in Classroom and AXIS (Arts Experiences in Schools) programs.
The challenges to public education in the metro-New Orleans area since Katrina are daunting. In 2009, 36 different entities operated 86 Orleans Parish public schools. Information from the Greater New Orleans Community Data Center indicates that 87.75% of students at KID smART schools are poor and at-risk, compared to 41% nationally.
KID smART schools are committed to using the transformative power of the arts, which can “level the learning field” across social and economic boundaries, to increase their capacity to face and meet the current education challenges in our communities.
