Programs for Schools, Educators, and Community Organizations
The heart of the JBFC’s education mission is to develop pre-K through grade 12 curricula that will help students cultivate the skills to succeed in the visually, digitally, and globally connected 21st century. We offer field trips to the Media Arts Lab and JBFC Theater, artist residencies, and professional development. Each year, the JBFC partners with hundreds of schools and serves nearly 12,000 students.
We provide curricula that enrich, support, propel, and integrate visual and aural literacy in diverse learning environments. These programs bring meaning, making, and analysis together in formal and informal settings through discussion, critical observation, and participation. Both process and project-based, our programs foster insight, appreciation, conceptualization, and invention in students of all ages.
"Through our partnership with the JBFC, our sixth and seventh graders learned how to read visual text critically by assessing the credibility, accuracy, and value of information presented to them in images. Students then used what they learned to make original films. The sixth graders created narrative films about their lives, and the seventh graders made public service announcements around issues that affect their communities. It was a spectacular experience for all.”
