Music and the Arts Enhances Learning Like Nothing Else
Researchers agree that music and movement, which is a major part of our program, broadens learning and touches the brain like nothing else, triggering new neural connections that help in mathematics and even fine motor skills. At Adventure Arts Academy, when adding these artistic elements, along with creative play, academic learning becomes second nature.
