I co-teach at the Theatre Arts Production Company School in the Bronx. It is a small inner city arts MS/HS school that serves approximately 580 students in grades 6-12. While approximately 27% of the student body has a special education designation, most, if not all, have a desire to learn and the potential to succeed academically. Similar to the community in which the it is located, the ethnic breakdown of the school is 69.3% Hispanic/Latino, followed by 26.93% Black/African-American. My students are extremely talented and have chosen this school for the arts curriculum. They can sing, dance, and act, and they perform their hearts out when they put on plays; they are strong visual and graphic artists; and they design all the scenery and stage sets for their performances. It is our goal to use their interest in the arts to supplement their education and help them become college ready.
