SCT @ Your School
Theatre is more than what you see on stage. Young people who engage with theatre acquire skills essential to their social and emotional development: a healthy sense of personal identity, the ability to empathize with others, and imaginative ways of thinking. With SCT at Your School Programs, you can bring theatre directly to your classroom. SCT's expert Teaching Artists will lead your class in exciting and interactive activities that use drama and kinesthetic learning techniques to explore a wide variety of subjects including language arts, social justice, science, SEL, and of course, acting! All of these programs are carefully created to fulfill Common Core Standards and EALRs, and directly support what you do in the classroom every day. Continuing scrolling to learn about our programs.
