More Reasons to Choose Adventure Arts Academy!
*Music and the Arts Enhances Learning Like Nothing Else
Researchers agree that music and movement, a major part of our program, broadens learning and touches the brain like nothing else can, triggering new neural connections which help in mathematics and even fine motor skills like cutting. While children have a blast adding these dimensions, along with creative play, academic learning becomes second nature.
