Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Multi-faceted program supports reading curriculum in schools by using classic books to connect children to the world of reading, art, culture and ideas.

Cool Classics! is an after-school program that uses book-based, arts-integrated curricula to inculcate a love of literature, develop critical thinking skills and introduce public elementary school students in underserved communities to the arts & humanities.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Cool Classics! introduces children to the interpenetration of arts, culture, the humanities and the power of the intellect in communities that may lack such resources, seeking to frame, augment and enhance what teachers do in the classroom. The program is designed for schools that value but may have lost arts and culture programs, and are too often overwhelmed by the demands of a test-driven curriculum.-$50,233
