Our sample included over 6000 students and their parents, teachers, and principals. We gathered data, both at the outset and after three years of involvement in LTTA on student achievement, student attitudes towards arts and schooling, and out-of-school activities. We found no baseline differences in achievement nor in socioeconomic status in the LTTA and control schools. At the end of three years, the grade-6 LTTA students scored significantly higher on tests of computation than students in control schools. We conclude the article with suggestions for extending this longitudinal research.  \nKeywords: arts-based learning, arts-based schooling, engagement, arts and achievement  \nDans cet article, les auteures décrivent les effets sur le rendement scolaire et les attitudes des élèves du programme Apprendre par les arts (APLA) implanté dans un réseauscolaire. L􀂒échantillon regroupait plus de 6000 élèves, les parents, les enseignants et les directeurs des écoles canadiennes participantes. Les auteurs ont colligé, au début d􀂒implantation du programme APLA et après une période de trois ans d􀂒application, des données sur le rendement des élèves, leurs attitudes envers les arts et l􀂒école et les activités extrascolaires. Il n􀂒y avait aucune différence de base quant au rendement ou au statut socioéconomique entre les écoles ayant recours au programme APLA et les écoles témoins. Au terme de l􀂒étude de trois ans, les élèves qui ont appris avec le programme APLA ont obtenu en mathématiques des notes nettement supérieures à celles des élèves des écoles témoins.  \nMots clés: enseignement et apprentissage par les arts, participation, arts et rendementdes élèves.  \n􀂖􀂖􀂖􀂖􀂖􀂖􀂖􀂖􀂖􀂖􀂖􀂖􀂖􀂖􀂖􀂖  \nIn recognition of the importance oftheartsand in response to the declining support for arts programs in schools, some public schools have become specialized arts schools with teachers and students selected for their arts interests and experiences. Although students benefit from attending such schools, Pitman (1998) observes that, 􀂓Setting up elite arts schools for those  \nCANADIAN JOURNAL OF EDUCATION 28, 1 & 2 (2005): 109􀂖127  \nwho see their future employment in the arts does not address the main concern 􀂗 that every child must be brought to a level of arts literacy that will make life joyful and productive􀂔 (p. 60) .  \nSeveral models have been developed to increase the level of arts literacy in public schools across Canada (Vagianos, 1999), but empirical research assessing such models is scarce. The research reported in this article describes a few aspects of an extensive empirical study on one such model: Learning Through the Arts (LTTA) . In the LTTA elementary education model, professional artists work directly with students after developing curricula with teachers (for a full description of the program, see Elster, 2001) . Our research reports on the effectiveness of the LTTA program for the revitalization of elementary education as experienced by students and their parents, teachers, administrators, and artists.  \nRELATED LITERATURE  \nOver the past century, the arts have enjoyed prominence during times of progressive reforms, but regarded as an extra during the 􀂓back-to-basics􀂔 movements (Oreck, 2002) . Between 1950 and 1980, arts education, under the mantle of aesthetic education, was justified by aesthetic or intrinsic ends and not, for example, to enhance self-esteem or improve reading skills (Reimer, 1970). To conduct research on the non-arts effects of arts education was 􀂓out of vogue at best, out of touch at worst􀂔 (Cutietta, Hamann, & Walker, 1995, p. 5) .  \nIn the mid-1970s, Eisner (1974) called for the evaluation of arts programs.
