Fleisher: Public School Residencies

Community Partnerships in the Arts' innovative theme-based projects are designed to meet the needs of children in kindergarten through eighth grade classes. CPA works closely with principals, teachers, and curriculum coordinators to ensure that its projects complement the School District of Philadelphia curriculum frameworks, as well as the diversity of student learners. Teaching artists partner with classroom teachers and/or art specialists in these 8 to 24-week programs.
