Arts Education

The Dance, Drama, Music and Visual Arts curriculum are intended to support, promote and inspire the growth of all students as artistic learners as they journey towards becoming creative, artistically literate adults and citizens who will truly enrich their own lives and the lives of future communities.

Arts Education in Manitoba schools is mandatory from grades 1 to 8. The number and choice of Arts subject areas offered in a school will depend upon local context. Recommended time allotments are 10 per cent of instructional time in grades 1 to 6 and per cent of instructional time in grades 7 and 8.
