Programs

Arts Achieve! Model Schools is a program designed by Arts for a Complete Education/Florida Alliance for Arts Education (ACE/FAAE) to recognize school models that offer a comprehensive, sequential, high-quality program of visual and performing arts instruction. The recognition program will model the Music Demonstration School Program, but will encompass all of the fine arts (dance, music, theatre, and visual art).  The purpose of this program is to identify, recognize, and promote statewide school fine arts programs at the elementary, middle/junior, and high school levels that balance diversity, high performance standards, and instructional quality in visual and performing arts education. 

Schools that apply to become an Arts Achieve! Model School will be evaluated and approved by Arts for a Complete Education/Florida Alliance for Arts Education (ACE/FAAE) based on criteria developed by ACE/FAAE in cooperation with Florida’s fine arts associations for dance, music, theatre, and visual art.  Schools that meet this criteria are committed for a three-year period to assist ACE/FAAE, school officials, teachers, and other interested persons in observing quality fine arts programs and obtaining information for program improvement.  The selected schools will receive public recognition from ACE/FAAE in local, regional, and statewide media and at the annual ACE/FAAE Leadership Summit.
