AFES at Cultural Institutions
The DC Collaborative provides the DC public and charter public schools with access to age-appropriate cultural opportunities throughout the Washington Metropolitan Area. The DC Collaborative’s sponsorship ensures that schools can benefit from the region’s rich array of arts amenities. Excursions include storytelling presentations; music, dance, and theater experiences; plus trips to The Kennedy Center and museums. These events connect to class curriculum and Common Core Standards and help students develop critical-thinking skills. Participating organizations supply teachers with study materials, adding further incentive to integrate the arts into their daily lessons. More than 30,000 students and teachers visit the cultural institutions Members through AFES per year.
AFES In School
Through its Members, the DC Collaborative provides several in-school performances and residencies. The live presentations and workshops enhance students’ understanding of and appreciation for the arts and humanities. This on-site program also encourages teachers to incorporate cultural activities in the classroom more often. To register for in school opportunities, please contact info@dccollaborative.org.
