"The Cathedral Arts Project Program has made a powerful impact on our 6th-grade students this year. By integrating theatre with writing instruction, the CAP teacher seamlessly blended performance and academics, boosting student confidence, collaboration, and creativity.
Students learned essential writing skills while building scripts, developing characters, and performing live. This approach not only fostered teamwork and social growth but also contributed to the highest ELA scores we’ve seen to date. We’re eager to see the writing scores this summer, as we expect continued growth. The final performances were a proud showcase of their hard work and a testament to how the arts can elevate student success in every way." - Site Administrator, River City Science Academy Intracoastal.

CAP’s arts integration programs offer schools and partner sites a unique approach to increasing students’ understanding of academic standards. In an arts-integrated curriculum, an art form – whether dance, music, theatre or the visual arts – is used as a tool for learning one or more academic subjects.

The giving season reminds us what matters most: the moment a student experiences pride after creating something meaningful—a painting, a song, a performance. That creative discovery transforms how young people see themselves and their potential.

At the Cathedral Arts Project, your support creates immediate impact. A $25 donation provides art supplies for students. $50 covers a week of music instruction. $100 brings dance education to students who would otherwise never have access.

Every gift strengthens our ability to serve more students throughout Northeast Florida.

Support CAP Students Today
As we close out this year and approach the finish line of our REIMAGINE Campaign, we`re grateful for donors who understand how the arts transform young lives.
