Arts education is a student right!

Students with a comprehensive arts education are more likely to be recognized for their academic achievement overall.

California State PTA, in partnership with Create CA, is excited to provide the newly revised Parents’ Guide to Arts Education in California Public Schools (also known as the VAPA Guide).

This guide, which has been updated to reflect the new standards for instruction related to the arts, provides an overview of what your child will learn in the disciplines of dance, music, theater and the visual arts by the end of each grade level. We encourage you to utilize the guide to ensure your school district promotes a proper arts curriculum that leads to greater student success socially, emotionally and academically.

Visit the Parent's Guide to Arts Education in California Public Schools page on the California State PTA website to download the guide in English or Spanish. You can download the entire guide, or just the section(s) pertaining to your child's grade level.
