Mississippi Whole Schools, a program of the Mississippi Arts Commission, is Mississippi’s first comprehensive statewide arts education program which uses the arts as a vehicle for promoting high-quality instruction and learning for students in all disciplines. Students learn academic concepts through arts-based instruction.

Twenty-three schools in the state currently participate.

Mississippi Whole Schools is a program of professional development in the arts for educators and education decision makers. MAC hosts a Summer Institute and Winter Institute each year to provide training for educators on arts education and how to integrate the arts into other subjects.  Click here to see more information:  https://mswholeschools.org/
