King School

Portland School Chosen for Turnaround Arts Initiative
King School in Portland has been selected for participation in the Turnaround Arts initiative, a new public-private partnership designed to help narrow the achievement gap and increase student engagement through the arts.  The two-year initiative, announced by a White House panel, will enlist celebrities, including cellist Yo-Yo Ma and actress Sarah Jessica Parker, in efforts to improve school culture and academic achievement across the curriculum through high-quality, integrated arts instruction.  Learn more about the initiative at http://turnaroundarts.pcah.gov/; read an Education Week blog about the initiative at http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/curriculum/2012/04/turnaround_arts_initiative.html.
