The FAAE evaluates and approves schools based on criteria development by the Florida Department of Education, FAAE and Florida’s professional service associations for dance, music, theater and visual art. Florida Arts Model Schools o er exemplary arts and arts integration programs, instructional settings, and community connections.
“Excellence in arts education is still very much a vital goal of the Florida Department of Education,” said Julie Hebert, executive director of FAAE. “Through the Florida Arts Model Schools program, we’re ensuring that schools who have made a commitment to providing the highest quality arts programs for their students not only receive the recognition they deserve, but also receive the support they need in order to share the models for their success with schools that want to improve.”
The Florida Arts Model Schools awards will be presented to both schools at the summit during a special luncheon in their honor on June 24, 2017.
