Drama in the Middle is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization, promoting, supporting, and funding for Children’s Education in and through the arts. Drama In The Middle is a program that is for students, teachers and parents. This program is designed to focus on artistic theatrical pieces while using elements of Math, Science, History and English. The program is activated to take on ELD (English Language Development) Students and EO (English only) Students and give them a different perspective on learning the basics in school and allow the participants to have a better chance at scoring well on the CST’s  in high school.

From the President to the Parents of millions of school-age children here in America, there is a common bond that binds us all together and that tie is Education. It has been proven when the basics of education are blended with elements of the arts (Dance, Drama, Art, and Singing) children have an increased retention of learned materials and of course through interaction, the student’s attention and energy level fro learning remains high. Thank you for supporting the arts.
