School-in-Residence Program
In fall of 2008, The New Children’s Museum launched a pilot School-in-Residence educational program that provides
hands-on, meaningful and guided projects to students from downtown San Diego.
Through this program, fifty third-graders and their teachers from Washington Elementary spend three weeks on-site
at NCM, taking their regular classes in the Museum’s Arts Education Center. They participate in a specially designed
curriculum to enhance and encourage creativity, facilitated by Studio Arts Director Alberto Caro. Goals of the program
include building community within the school; encouraging students to examine objects in new ways and ask
questions; promoting the art-making process and empowering students to view themselves as artists. Ultimately, the
Museum’s School-in-Residence program will partner with schools from all over San Diego county.
