This report examines the academic and civic behavior
outcomes of teenagers and young adults who have engaged deeply with the arts in
or out of school. In several small-group studies, children and teenagers who
participated in arts education programs have shown more positive academic and
social outcomes in comparison to students who did not participate in those
programs. Such studies have proved essential to the current research literature
on the types of instrumental benefits associated with an arts education.
