About the Grant
Involvement in the arts is associated with gains in math, reading, cognitive ability, critical thinking, and verbal skill. Arts learning can also improve motivation, concentration, confidence, and teamwork. Through Arts and Culture Access funding, Orange County Public Schools' students hone those skills by attending field trips and participating in-school programs that connect to their class curriculum.
