Abstract	In order for the model of a STEAM education to be successful, it must be embedded into a school that not only acknowledges the rigor in the arts, but also encourages creativity and innovation. Although claims for a causal link between art and student academic achievement have provided no evidence, further investigation is needed to determine what happens when art is the central focus of education (Bequette & Bequette, 2012; Winner & Cooper, 2000). Hart Hall Art Infused Magnet School (HHA), a pseudonym chosen for the purposes of this article, was not a STEAM school, but its interconnection to the arts allowed for a seamless transition to a STEAM program. This article first defines art infusion and provides an overview of HHA and the STEAM program in which it participated. It then explores how this school offered ideal conditions for STEAM development. Finally, the article discusses how replicating these conditions can benefit schools considering a STEAM education.
