Enrollment

The participation details, shared investment information, and focus works of art for 2026-27 are outlined below. Early indication of interest is encouraged to support planning and availability.

Partnering classrooms select two works of art each year and engage in two units of study. Each unit includes:

  • A collaborative planning meeting with a McCallum Teaching Artist (TA)
  • Four in‑class workshops (45-60 minutes each) by the TA
  • Attendance at a live performance (typically following the third workshop)

Classroom educators reinforce and extend learning through integrated instruction connected to core curriculum areas. To support successful classroom implementation, McCallum provides ready‑to‑use companion lessons in a dynamic Google Slide Deck, making partnership seamless, flexible, and easy to incorporate into existing instructional practices.

2026–27 Focus Works of Art (Units of Study)

  • Everybody Get On Board featuring Inez Barlatier and Justin Roberts
  • The Planets by Backhausdance (touring to schools)
  • Ballet Hispánico in Concert
  • The Musicians of Bremen by Cahoots NI (Northern Ireland)
  • Aesop Bops! featuring David Gonzalez and Daniel Kelly (touring to schools)

Shared Investment with a Subsidized Participation Fee

The participation fee represents a shared investment in student access to high‑quality professional performance experiences and learning in the arts. McCallum Theatre for the Performing Arts, a nonprofit organization, subsidizes a significant portion of the program cost through philanthropic and institutional support, allowing schools to participate at a reduced, sustainable rate.

Participation fees per school site:

  • $825 per classroom — 4 to 7 classrooms
  • $450 per classroom — 8 to 14 classrooms
  • $375 per classroom — 15 or more classrooms

Minimum participation: four classrooms per school. Schools pay for transportation to and from McCallum Theatre.

Please note: The participation fee for the Aesthetic Education Program may be an allowable expense under a school site’s Prop-28 AMS Budget, utilizing the allocation for materials, support, and community partnerships.
