Mid-Coast Regional Arts Program
August 2, 2009Gifted and Talented Program in the Bath/Brunswick area
Many school districts are looking for options to meet the educational needs of their Gifted and Talented students for arts education. Here is a model that you can look at more closely. In the Brunswick area for the last 10 years at the high school level, and three years for the middle school level, they have been offering workshops in Music (instrumental and vocal), Creative Writing, Visual Arts, Dance and Theater.
The high school program covers five weeks in Oct./Nov. and March/April – once a week for four hours. The middle School program is seven weeks in Jan/Feb – once a week for four hours. Participating schools pay $10,000 each year for both programs.
