As Kentucky’s first public elementary performing arts school, Lincoln commits to educating the whole child through 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.
