The Kennedy Center and ArtsEdge

A program of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, ArtsEdge  is the National Arts and Education Network that supports the placement of the arts at the center of the curriculum and advocates the creative use of technology to enhance the Kindergarten through grade twelve educational experience.  ArtsEdge empowers educators to teach in, through, and about the arts by providing the tools to develop interdisciplinary curricula that fully integrate the arts with other academic subjects.

Upper School faculty member Jayne Karsten—a member of the Teacher’s Advisory Council of ArtsEdge for many years—has been instrumental in the collaborative endeavors that have benefited both Key students and the Kennedy Center’s educational lesson plans.
