Open Door Arts, an affiliate of Seven Hills Foundation, is grateful for its ongoing partnership with BPS Arts Expansion Fund at EdVestors and for their most recent grant of $24,000 for the COOL Schools program. The COOL Schools program partners with three Boston Public Schools to provide inclusive, arts-integrated learning for students in pre-K through 12th grade. The goals of the program are to promote inclusion, improve academic, social/emotional, and artistic outcomes, while at the same time deepening student engagement in the arts. Through the placement of teaching artists, students with and without disabilities learn together about drama, dance, visual arts, music, and media arts.
