Education Arts Canada partners with schools to bring shows right into the school setting that are
- high energy
- participatory
- high production value
- curriculum linked
- affordable
- with higher production values than almost any other in-school shows available, including full sets, sound systems, costumes, video projection elements and special effects
Research has shown that music, drama and dance are highly-effective tools for relaying information in a way that is accessible and easy to remember. Exposure to the arts is linked to higher academic performance, increased standardized test scores and higher performance in six categories of literacy and critical thinking.
Every year tens of thousands of school children enjoy EAC’s critically-acclaimed shows right in their schools, avoiding the need for bussing to our in-theatre presentations. Productions range from the high-octane, kinesthetic excitement of JiggiJump to the popular MathJam series for JK-3. Our programs for older students (grades 4-6+) include the One Deep Breath series about mental health and our new ScienceJam series. The shows are developed in consultation with educators and content experts to bring children an entertaining and educationally-rich experience, supported with free curriculum-integrated support materials.
