Circus, being unique, visual and exciting, offers a solid foundation for learning
This one-of-a-kind education program takes learning in the classroom to a new level. Our teaching artists go into Sarasota and Manatee County schools engaging students in key academic subjects including Science,
Language Arts and Theater. These inquiry based lessons were developed to New Florida Standards with FSA impact/awareness/results. Designed to include students that have difficulty responding to other traditional forms of instruction, the education program introduces students of all learning levels and learning styles to this unique curriculum. Measurements to date demonstrate consistent benefits to retention rates and test outcomes. We follow the Kennedy Center Arts Integration protocol because it is known that “when students learn through arts integration, they are engaged in experiences in which they actively build and demonstrate their understanding of both the art form and the other curriculum area.”

The Circus Arts Conservatory’s Teaching Artists build a real Circus for an entire grade level that culminates in a live Circus performance for the school. This program has been working at several area schools for the past 15 years.
Each class is assigned a Circus Act to present: Clowns, Jugglers, Jump Ropers, Hula Hoops. Skills are practiced for the presentation in the classroom over the course of several sessions. Team work, individual challenge, a vibrant learning format, and presentation skills form the foundation of Build-a-Circus.
