Arts Integration
ICEF on the performance stage

---

The Performing Arts Program at ICEF Public Schools includes content that exposes children to the complementary influences of physical, social, and academic development -- offerings that go beyond the core academic curriculum into practical and active experiences. ICEF has a range of student performance groups that train in music, dance and drama. 

​Students have competed and performed at prolific events including ICEF’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Jazz Festival, The Playboy Jazz Festival, 75th Birthday Celebration of Jazz Great Kenny Burrell, the Music Center Bravo Awards, NAACP Image Awards.
