Lincoln Elementary Performing Arts

As Kentucky’s first public elementary performing arts school, Lincoln commits to educating the whole child through a rigorous, arts-infused curriculum to best prepare students for future success. Students engage in a variety of arts instruction, including vocal, instrumental music, dance, drama, band, orchestra, piano, and the visual arts. Our performing arts curriculum complements instruction in core subjects while thoroughly exploring the performing arts through an integrated multisensory approach to learning. Primary Program students receive instruction in all areas of the performing arts, while fourth- and fifth- grade students select two performing arts electives for the school year. Parents, students, staff, and community members commit to providing a strong academic, social, and emotional learning environment essential to childhood development.
