Expand Your Classroom!
Let the Wexner Center help you expand your classroom to encompass our galleries, stages, and screens, along with all the connections the contemporary arts can offer. Our programs emphasize active looking and learning and can complement your curriculum in language arts, social studies, science, foreign languages, math, or history--as well as in the arts. School programs help students at all K–12 grade levels work toward key academic content standards by encouraging the development of critical-thinking and comprehension skills.Check this page for current and upcoming events for schools.
