IN-SCHOOL PROGRAMS

Arts are an essential part of a child’s school day. During the 2023-24 school year, our Art4Schools and Music4Schools programs provided quality arts education to over 22,000 children in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties. Our inschool programs are taught by professional arts educators as part of the regular school day. Our programs meet California State Educational Standards and are integrated with existing school curriculum. CSMA also offers after-school choruses, music programs and art clubs at partner elementary schools.
