Empowering Children Through Creativity
All children, from all socio-economic and
intelligence levels are positively affected by
the arts.
M.E.O.W.S. is committed to empowering
children by facilitating the discovery of their
creativity, high self-worth, spirituality,
integrity, and inner gifts. We encourage this
discovery through entertainment, education, and
experience.

Facts
-
Students who take arts classes have higher
math, verbal, and composite SAT scores than
students who take no arts classes.
-
SAT scores increase linearly with the
addition of more years of arts classes, that
is, the more years of arts classes, the
higher the SAT scores.
-
The strongest relationship with SAT scores
was found with students who take four or
more years of arts classes.
-
Acting classes had the strongest correlation
with verbal SAT scores. Acting classes and
music history, theory, or appreciation had
the strongest relationship with math SAT
scores. However, all classifications of arts
classes were found to have significant
relationships with both verbal and math SAT
scores.
