Cornerstone Charter Academy has decided to remove art from lower school, beginning in the 2023-2024 school year.
Did you know that research has repeatedly demonstrated that children who are exposed to the arts score higher on standardized tests, graduate at increased rates, are better problem-solvers, and are overall more engaged citizens. The arts can have a significant impact on young learners and these classes prepare them to be intelligent, productive citizens. Students need to be exposed to arts to help enhance their minds and experiences, even if the important lessons they are learning are not quantifiable on a test.
It is imperative that an appeal is made to decision-makers to ensure that our childrens' arts education is part of a well-balanced education at Cornerstone Charter Academy.
Please, sign this petition to show that Art at CCA is important to to you and your child(ren).
