Have you ever wanted to travel around the world and learn more about different countries? A teaching artist from the Children's Theatre Company will bring stories from diverse world cultures so that students can learn about traditions, try songs and dances, and make crafts that dive deep into new cultures! Community Education uses a sliding scale model for program fees so our afterschool programs can be financially sustainable and more equitable. Families are asked to pick the price that they are able to pay. By more clearly articulating our lower cost options, we have removed the barrier that some may have felt in making scholarship requests. When families participate at the higher price levels, they help make the program more sustainable. Extended Learning (ALC) classes are free.
