Turnaround Arts Innovative Program
Program Overview
Turnaround Arts in Broward County Schools brings high-quality arts experiences to schools that benefit most from increased engagement and creative learning. By embedding visual arts, music, dance, and theater into the school day, the program strengthens student motivation, academic achievement, and school climate.
