Arts in Basic Curriculum

The Arts in Basic Curriculum (ABC) Project provides leadership to achieve quality, comprehensive arts education (dance, music, media arts, theatre, visual arts and creative writing) for all students in South Carolina.

The ABC Project is cooperatively directed by the South Carolina Arts Commission, the South Carolina Department of Education and the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Winthrop University.

Since 2006, Woodland Heights has been an Arts in Basic Curriculum site. The mission of Woodland Heights Elementary School is to immerse students in the arts as an integral part of a quality education. Students receive standards-based instruction in music, visual art, dance, drama and creative writing through a variety of innovative and creative strategies with certified teachers, artists in residence for each grade level, extended residencies, college interns, local artists, and classroom teachers.
