Arts for Learning

Since its founding in 1961, Arts for Learning has partnered with Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) to provide arts experiences that improve academic performance, teach creative problem-solving, develop social and emotional skills, and enhance student self-esteem.

For a comprehensive overview of the work we do, see our video featuring the IPS Director of Enrichment Programs and the Director of Student Enrichment and Extended Learning. We also feature principals at IPS Schools Raymond F. Brandes School 65 and Jonathan Jennings School 109 and some of the teachers and students from those schools as well as Daniel Webster School 46, Eleanor Skillen School 34, and James A. Garfield School 31.
