RATIONALE

Fully rounded students must be able to integrate a means of education through art to gain a holistic education that incorporates all of the multiple intelligences.

"Students who are involved in the arts are more motivated, more engaged, more sensitive, and more focused, creative, and responsible. They perform better in all aspects of school, including academic achievement." (Fowler, 1996)

Arts include the fine arts, music, dance, and theater. All of these aspects are important and can be easily incorporated into a whole curriculum, in our case English language to allow for students to fully develop their minds.
