2026-2027 SmartArts School


Northwest is proud to be a partner school with the SAC and SmartArts.
What is SmartARTS?
Housed at the TD Center for Arts Integration, SmartARTS is a partnership between Greenville County Schools (GCS) and the Metropolitan Arts Council (MAC) that connects students, artists, and teachers to deeper learning and self-awareness through integrating the arts with all areas of education. Arts integration is the collaboration between the arts and other content areas resulting in a richer, more complete whole that fosters deep, connected, personal learning in both areas simultaneously.
