• HAES is the first Atlanta Public School to implement arts integration.
• The arts integration model supports infusing arts and content area standards to increase student engagement and achievement.​
• We believe in integrating arts education into our school through dynamic partnerships.
• Studies show that students’ involvement in the visual and performing arts impacts their achievements in core academic subjects.
• Arts are integrated with subjects such as science, technology, engineering and mathematics to improve outcomes for all students.
• Students meet dual learning objectives when they engage in the creative process to explore connections between an art form and another subject area to gain greater understanding in both.
• "Arts education enables those children from a financially challenged background to have a more level playing field with children who have had those enrichment experiences,'' says Eric Cooper, president and founder of the National Urban Alliance for Effective Education.
