The mission of the Arts Office (AO) is to support the arts aspirations of all NYCPS students and to ensure that we are continuously expanding our reach in support of all schools, especially those that have not historically received direct support from our office. We do this by (a) Supporting principals to incorporate the arts into schools’ core instructional mission and school wide SEL practices, and (b) Build teachers’ knowledge and capacity around effective pedagogical practices based on the Blueprint for Teaching and Learning in the Arts.
The Bronx Arts Team is crucial for implementing the Arts Office’s initiatives through all public schools within geographic districts 7 through 12 and serving grades Pre-K through 12th. We’ve served many school leaders, arts teachers, and students. Please explore our website and take a look at our calendar of events below.
