Partners in Education

As team members for 13 years in the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Partners in Education Program, the Van Wezel Education Department and the School Board of Sarasota County bring the finest national arts educators to our community to work directly with teachers on arts integration teaching methods. Teaching in, through, and about the arts allows exploration of literature, science, math and all other curriculum areas helping students remember content in a variety of ways while strengthening their understanding. Our team is the only partner in the country to have received seven national research grants on the impact of arts in education.
