KCYA’s original programming (now called School and Community Programs) was established by community leaders in 1961 to introduce children to the arts. This program places the finest professional artists in the classroom to deliver arts programs integrated with core curriculum.

Educators, PTA’s, librarians, and community service providers can select from a wide variety of quality programs that are approved by educators and support curricular standards.  With performances, workshops, and residencies in nearly every artistic discipline and covering numerous academic topics, educators look to KCYA to enhance and reinforce their students’ classroom learning.  

School and Community Programs reached more than 42,022 youth last year, delivering a full palette of arts programs to public and private schools, early childhood centers, libraries, and other community venues.   School and Community Programs also deliver unique professional development opportunities for educators and teaching artists in the area of arts integration.
