Thanks to a grant from The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the Kennedy Center National Partnerships Program, the teachers and staff of the Integrated Arts Academy spent their in-service days in 2009-2010 learning new ways to integrate the arts in their classrooms from experts in the field.
Our school provides supplemental educational services - extra academic assistance/tutoring to improve students' academic performance -- free of charge to a limited number of eligible students.
Burlington cartoonist (and IAA parent) James Kochalka recently brought eight staff members from the Center for Cartoon Studies to Academy to teach 4th and 5th graders the art of making comics.
Thursday, December 17 from 6:00-7:30 pm. Select from over 140 original handcrafted bowls made by the third graders at the Integrated Arts Academy, sample delicious soups and breads from local restaurants and bakeries. Proceeds from your donation ($5.00 minimum per bowl) will benefit The Vermont Campaign to End Childhood Hunger.
Because the Sustainability and Integrated Arts Academies are the first magnet schools in the state, we are using grant funds to work with two firms to evaluate the effect of the magnet education on students, faculty, families and community.
