About SALA
The Summer Arts for Learning Academy
The Summer Arts for Learning Academy (SALA) is designed and operated by Arts for Learning Maryland for Baltimore City Public Schools. Now entering its 11th year, this award-winning, arts-integrated summer program engages students in a dynamic learning environment focused on literacy, math, and arts exploration. Teaching artists lead students in arts activities such as:
songwriting, theatre, dance, painting, slam poetry, illustration, drumming, ceramics, mixed-media visual arts, photography, Hip Hop music, filmmaking, storytelling, and more!
Meanwhile, students also experience daily literacy and math classes like never before: co-taught by an academic teacher and teaching artist! Students might find themselves writing songs to summarize the main idea in a story or creating dance sequences to remember the steps in solving math word problems. Learning at SALA is fun, creative, and effective–SALA students regularly end the summer further ahead on math and literacy testing! See the results.
