KCYA Programs
In School Programming
In School Programs are equal parts arts + curriculum.
Arts integration programs utilize the art form to engage students and help them learn.
School and Community Programs (SCP) - through professional teaching artists, we provide schools, libraries, and community centers with classroom workshops, artist residencies and school performance assemblies. These programs use the arts to engage students and enhance the learning of numerous academic subjects. Learn more...
Arts Partners (AP) - building upon our SCP program, we partner with 15 premier arts organizations and specific school districts to provide arts-in-education programs across the entire district. The AP program allows participating school districts to access the best arts education from our partners, as well as from KCYA, through one contract with coordination and planning assistance from our Arts Partners Coordinator.
