Arts In Education Week

In honor of the upcoming Arts In Education Week September 12-September 18, we have republished "Why Teach The Arts?". We hope that this argument written by a student intern, the product of the DISD's wonderful arts program and a senior in Modern Dance at the University of Utah, will be of interest to all of those interested in the role and value of providing a strong education in the arts to our children. We also hope that those skeptics who believe teaching the arts is a frivolous waste of time may gain a new perspective. Without creativity there cannot be innovation and without innovation how can we expect to solve the problems that face us all?

Meet Jan Van Blarcum | Founder

In 1999, Jan Van Blarcum, Ph.D. founded Creative Tutors. As an educator, Dr. Van Blarcum understood the importance of personalized attention in a child's educational growth. Her passion for learning grew into a business endeavor that provides customized, one-on-one, in-home tutoring to children with a variety of learning needs.

Jan has acquired invaluable experience through living abroad, teaching in many educational environments and has acquired business development experience. These unique experiences, coupled with her fervent desire to provide all children with the tools needed to achieve their potential in today's educational environment, led her to establish Creative Tutors and their sister organization Creative Learning 4 Kids, Inc. a 501(c)(3) company.
