Urban Arts Partnership is defined, above all else, by the accomplishments of its students and the work that takes place in the partner schools throughout the year. Partnerships range from in-school to after-school, from the classroom to the streets, from the Broadway stage to the international online community, and take place in neighborhoods across the City. We are proud to serve the remarkably diverse range of youth whose school work, struggles and creations help build the next generation of American citizens.

“I think the two biggest things with Urban Arts Partnership is that A) they understand teaching and learning as it pertains to the student and B) they understand teaching and learning as it pertains to the teacher. There is a real collaboration, getting teachers outside of themselves, which then means they are more willing to take risks and are more willing try other things because they’re working with an organization that they are having success with.”
– Gillian Smith, Principal, The Facing History School
