Learning Through the Arts (LTTA) is a dynamic, arts-driven education program providing teachers with creative tools to engage all students in math, science language arts and social studies. It is now the largest full school intervention program in the world, reaching more than 100,000 children each year. Demand for LTTA continues to increase exponentially. We anticipate that, by 2008, there will be 600 LTTA schools in Canada, and teacher professional development centers in 10 countries. With LTTA, the arts become tools for delivering general curriculum. LTTA students explore new ideas by
making images, creating dances, telling stories and singing songs.

Learning Through the Arts offers a way forward for young people who have struggled to learn through traditional means such as books or lectures.
