CYS In-Schools

CYS In-Schools programs offer a variety of performance-based Shakespeare learning opportunities for students in grades K-12 during the school day. In-Schools programs are designed specifically for each school's curriculum and student learning goals, and can range in scope from Shakespeare performances and stand-alone workshops to multi-day immersions and long-term residency programs. 
The workshops brought me closer together with my peers. ​I interacted with people I usually don’t talk to, and I have made new friendships that will last a lifetime.    - 10th grader

​CYS teaching artists make Shakespeare come alive in the classroom by providing hands-on experiences that engage students actively and collaboratively in the learning process.

​Thank you CYS! I learned that I'm more versatile than I think. I learned that I should never apologize for what I love. I learned never to give up. ​​- 7th grader
