In-school sessions taught by SF Shakes’ teaching artists.

Let SF Shakespeare’s expert teaching artists activate your students’ creativity, connection, and confidence. Building upon the foundation of your classroom, we facilitate the artistic and personal growth of each student while transforming the group into a fun, engaging, interactive ensemble, using curriculum that is specifically tailored to learning objectives and adapts to students. Our Education program brings over 30 years of educational and theatrical expertise to students for an immersive experience that they will never forget!

Our in-school programs fall into 3 categories:

Residencies

4 or more sessions

Playshops

1 to 3 sessions

Specialty Shakes

Specialized and customized sessions

These programs are designed for:

English, History, and Arts Teachers
Remote Learners
Home School parents/teachers/tutors
Learning Pods
Any educator teaching about Shakespeare and his works
Independent lifelong learners looking to enrich their experience of Shakespeare and theater

Most of our residencies and playshops can be taught either in-person or virtually. A “session” is typically a one hour class, but could range based on class size.
We recommend most programs for grades 4-12, but we can customize programs for younger students.
Pricing varies based on number of sessions, number of students/classes, number of teaching artists needed, required materials, and transportation.

programs in your classroom

residencies

4 or more sessions

Our residencies will enhance your curriculum, taking your students further in-depth on a variety of topics, and are aligned with the Common Core in subjects such as English, History, and Theater Arts.

playshops

1 to 3 sessions

Bring a professional theatre artist into your classroom to lead a customizable and interactive workshop, focused around a single topic or skill set. Narrower in breadth than a full residency, these workshops energize students and create buy-in for your subject matter.
