Art is at the Core

The arts are considered a core academic subject both federally and in the state of Montana.

Practical Skills

Arts education develops cognitive growth in areas like adaptability, decision-making skills, and visualization of goals and outcomes.

Test Better

Students who take four years of arts and music classes score an average of nearly 100 points higher on the SAT than students who take only one-half year or less.
