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. Read more about all our school programs on the Additional School Programs and Resources page.

Find out more about the program on the Pages blog.Art & Environment
High school students in 11th and 12th grade from all over central Ohio are spending winter and spring 2010 exploring art and environmental issues and earning credit through their own schools in the half-year Art & Environment course at the Wexner Center. The students will show their projects in the Interventions exhibition exhibition at the center May 27 to June 1. They also give tours of that show to school groups. Teachers, consider bringing your class to see the 2010 Interventions exhibition and think about students who might want to apply for the 2011 course. (See the artwork the 2009 class created in a Flickr photo album.) Find out more about the class on the Art & Environment blog.Additional Resources for Teachers
