Welcome to the National Arts & Learning Collaborative (NALC) at Walnut Hill -- a nonprofit organization with a mission to "transform schools by providing students with opportunities to learn in and through the arts." There is a growing realization and acceptance that performance in the arts is not simply expressions of feelings, but cognitive in nature -- providing the tools of thought needed to improve understanding across academic subjects as well as the imaginative, creative thinking capacities rapidly becoming societal necessities. At NALC, we believe that education in and through the arts awakens the desire to learn more -- the "craving to comprehend" as the author Herman Hesse describes it. To many, it may seem counterintuitive to turn to the arts in this time of educational turmoil, where new ideas are so desperately needed. We hope to persuade you otherwise. We believe the arts can actually help save education. |
