The mission of the Philadelphia Arts in Education Partnership (PAEP) is to promote learning in and through the arts for students in K-12 schools throughout southeastern Pennsylvania. We accomplish this mission by working with teachers, teaching artists, school districts, colleges and universities, and 82 arts and cultural organizations throughout the region to encourage excellence in arts-in-education practice, and to bring arts-based learning experiences to students who otherwise would have limited access to these opportunities. Through a range of programs and services, PAEP achieves its primary goal of advancing student learning by promoting best practices in the design and implementation of arts-in-education programming, building capacity in those who deliver arts in education programs, and providing access to resources and networks in support of arts in education programming.

*   School and Community Collaborative Partnership Programs
*   Professional Development
*   Information Clearinghouse
*   Research and Assessment

PAEP’s programming in the impact areas includes:

*   PAEP's Arts-Based Collaborative Partnership Program (ABC Program) providing significant support for arts-based interdisciplinary project work between K-12 schools and participating arts institutions.
*   Professional development courses, workshops, and conferences to build the capacity of teachers, arts specialists, teaching artists, and arts educators to engage in best practices;
*   Networking and convening activities promoting a healthy environment for interaction among PAEP stakeholder institutions in the arts and education field;
*   Research and assessment documenting the impact of the arts on student learning.
*   Residency design, implementation, and management for school and community sites throughout southeastern Pennsylvania as the regional partner of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts Arts in Education Division.

The Philadelphia Arts in Education Partnership was founded in September 1996, with initial involvement of 30 non-profit arts and cultural organizations and institutions. The intent of this initiative was to assist in the partnership efforts of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts by extending its outreach to the state's most populous community with a wealth of outstanding artists, artistic resources, and educational institutions.

The Partnership has grown to be an independent organization that comprises over 80 of the region's leading visual and performing arts institutions, colleges and universities, the School District of Philadelphia, and the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. PAEP is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, incorporated in Pennsylvania. PAEP resides at The University of the Arts.
