Our Ongoing Commitment to Education<br />

EDUCATION – A CORE VALUE<br />

Promoting education is one of <strong>the</strong> core values of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Broward</strong><br />

<strong>Center</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> Per<strong>for</strong>ming Arts and an integral part of our<br />

mission. At <strong>the</strong> heart of our commitment lies <strong>the</strong> belief that<br />

learning in and through <strong>the</strong> arts can serve as a powerful tool <strong>for</strong><br />

student achievement in your classroom curriculum. The season<br />

ahead offers a wide range of opportunities <strong>for</strong> both students and<br />

teachers to explore <strong>the</strong> arts through per<strong>for</strong>mances, workshops<br />

and special discounts. We hope that you will join us as we<br />

fulfill this important goal – “Arts in Service of Education.”<br />

A SHARED VISION<br />

Our partnership is one of <strong>the</strong> most unique in <strong>the</strong> nation. No<br />

students annually, at no charge to <strong>the</strong>ir families. Our national awardwinning<br />

SEAS program has shared <strong>the</strong> wonder of live per<strong>for</strong>mances<br />

with more than two million students since its inception.<br />

The success of our partnership is based on a shared vision that<br />

is focused in three specific areas:<br />

1. We combine <strong>for</strong>ces to ensure that all students achieve<br />

at <strong>the</strong>ir highest potential by supporting <strong>Broward</strong> <strong>Public</strong><br />

School curriculum and academic learning through <strong>the</strong> arts.<br />

2. We encourage professional development <strong>for</strong> educators by<br />

providing <strong>the</strong> expertise and resources required to promote<br />

best classroom practices <strong>for</strong> teaching through <strong>the</strong> arts.<br />

3. We recognize and celebrate <strong>the</strong> academic and cultural<br />

achievements of both students and teachers.<br />

Toge<strong>the</strong>r, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Broward</strong> <strong>Center</strong> and <strong>Broward</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>Schools</strong><br />

education programs in <strong>the</strong> nation.<br />
