The Benefits of Performing Arts

We believe that the performing arts play an important role in a student’s educational development and have far-reaching impacts on the student later in life. Research from the National Endowment of Arts, states that students involved in performing arts, perform better in Math and English and are 3 times more likely to earn a bachelor’s degree. Other student benefits include improvement in communication skills, self-esteem and confidence that they can use in school and later in their careers.
