National Partnerships

Welcome to the National Partnerships Home Page

What is 'National Partnerships?'

National Partnerships is composed of two nation-wide networks:
  • The Kennedy Center Alliance for Arts Education Network (KCAAEN)
    The mission of the KCAAEN is to promote learning in and through the arts for all students.
    The KCAAEN, a program of the Kennedy Center Education Department, is a coalition of statewide non-profit Alliances for Arts Education working in partnership with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to support policies, practices, programs, and partnerships that ensure the arts are an essential part of American K-12 education.
  • Partners in Education
    The mission of Partners in Education is to foster partnerships among arts organizations, schools, and communities.

    The Partners in Education program of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is designed to assist arts organizations throughout the nation to develop or expand educational partnerships with their local school systems. The primary purpose of these school/community partnerships in the arts is to promote the professional development of teachers.
The Kennedy Center Education Department supports these networks through:
  • Professional Development
  • Resource Development
  • Technical Support
  • Competitive Project Grants
