CAP’s arts integration programs, which we call Art Smarts, integrate the arts with learning, offering a unique approach to increasing students’ understanding of academic standards.

For three years, CAP has partnered with Abess Park Elementary School to provide its third graders with theatre instruction to enhance their English Language Arts (ELA) curriculum. This approach has produced phenomenal results, providing strong evidence that arts integration helps pave the road to success. 💪😊

Did you know that learning how to play music can be a literacy superpower? When children study music they become better readers and build skills like deep listening, cooperation, and team work. Learn more about the many academic and social benefits of arts education at capkids.org.✨

The CAP Theatre Company dazzled audiences at Hendricks Avenue Baptist Church this past weekend with its second summer musical experience, bringing Disney’s Frozen KIDS to life! Congratulations to the cast and crew, CAP Delores Barr Weaver Teaching Artist Fellow in Theatre, Christian Anderson, Teaching Artist Fellows in Theatre, Chelsye Ginn and Julia Veiga, who led 29 students from multiple schools, in a two-week theatre camp culminating in two live performances to packed audiences!

This year's camp provided students with both performance and production tracks rounding out a complete theatre experience for the participants. Additional CAP Teaching Artist Fellows in Music, Dance and Strings also collaborated with the theatre team, helping students bring the story to life. Students learned to hand-paint set pieces, build costumes using sewing machines, had vocal and dance instruction and live string accompaniment from students in the CAP String Orchestra!

Emily, who played the role of Elsa shared: “At first I was, "wow I can't believe we are doing this in two weeks! How am I going to learn everything?" But now we're at the show and I CAN do it! Shoutout to my teachers. I am so happy to have this experience!”
