“CAP’s winter session is pretty busy with 26 instructors delivering 23 different community programs averaging 165 hours of free art and design programming in Detroit each week.
One of CAP’s key areas of focus continues to be servicing Detroit Public Schools through the Community Learning Centers of the 21st Century program. This program, out of the U.S. Department of Education’s “No Child Left Behind” legislation, is administered through the Michigan Department of Education to serve the neediest students in the state. Schools are selected for participation based on student need and the school’s poor performance on
state assessments of student achievement. These programs purposely serve the neediest students in the most challenged schools in Michigan.
In reaching and engaging these schools and students, the CAP approach is to deliver the best, and assume that students and schools can achieve it. CAP delivers a demanding but fun curriculum, which has included digital photography and even animation.”
