 What is an Imagination Celebration School?


It’s a school overflowing with arts-rich programs, developed and coordinated under a central annual theme.  Studies show a vital link between arts education and a student’s academic performance.  Arts education contributes significantly to improved critical thinking, cognitive abilities, problem solving and decision making.  Even schools without a formal arts education program can participate!

Imagine It!


"From my own point of view, I can only tell you what has worked for me – find something you really enjoy doing and pursue it. For me it was artwork. Since other subjects came to me with more difficulty, I tried to combine art with them. So, for example, in history, I would often provide drawings depicting a particular period or situation – bringing together both cultural and historical elements. It did not necessarily bring up my history grade, but it did keep my mind open to history as it related to something I loved."
