The Circus Arts Conservatory Education Program

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.”

  • Engaging students directly and immediately, our circus-artists demonstrate principles of science, engineering, art, math, technology, communication, and theater
  • Capturing students enthusiasm first, we introduce a new perspective of key academic subjects through our distinctively engaging educational programs’ approach
  • Utilizing inquiry-based lessons, students learn to develop solutions through a question and analysis process
  • Encouraging creativity and introducing students to the circus arts and sciences, we accommodate all levels and learning styles, in a safe environment
  • Helping students recognize the importance of science, technology, and mathematics, we provide a kinesthetic learning experience
  • Following the Kennedy Center Arts Integration protocol, we subscribe to the idea 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”
  • Having instructed more than 30,000 students in 32 elementary and middle schools, the Circus Arts Conservatory is proudly offering this educational experience since 2012
  • All lessons comply with Florida State Standards (FSA)

The Marvelous, Miraculous Circus Machine!

Program description

The Marvelous, Miraculous Circus Machine is an exciting adventure in physical science! Led by the Circus Arts Conservatory teaching artists, students will learn about balanced and unbalanced forces, cause and effect, gravity, friction, potential and kinetic energy all while working as a collaborative team to create a ‘circus machine’ from everyday objects. This is a project based program that includes around five classes (depending on teacher needs).

  • Introductory Assembly
  • Classroom workbooks and classroom kits
  • Final performance will be at the Sailor Circus Arena on January 20 or 21, 2022
  • Online resources for students and teachers
  • Although this curriculum is created for fifth grade it can easily be adjusted for 4-8th grades

As an engaging finale to the classroom experience, a performance is held, reinforcing what the students have learned. Here, a giant cause and effect machine with circus artists at part of the machine itself, will be triggered to the delight of the audience.

On line resources are freely available for use in the classroom.  On the site, students can watch videos on each of the scientific concepts and teachers will find assessments and other resources as well. All lessons are aligned to the Florida State Standards.
