We are committed to enriching the lives of students through performance programs and curriculum-related arts projects.
Our AIE programs combine a workable balance of hands-on teaching, student participation in interdisciplinary projects, teacher training and professional performance which are acclaimed throughout the New York City region!
BAE’s programs are praised for directly involving children in the creative process, making them aware of the arts’ importance. Serving the State Learning Standards, the programs improve reading and writing skills as well as English comprehension. Our projects involve the interdisciplinary learning of English, history and social studies, as well as art and music. A major philosophy to which the BAE subscribes is quoted in Business Week magazine, October 28, 1996: “Arts instruction pushes students to perform - and to produce - by offering models of excellence, and by clearly defining the paths for achieving it.”
