Programs for Schools (Pre-K - 12; Professional Development)
School-based curricula are designed to support the New York State Learning Standards for the Arts, the English Language Arts, Social Studies, Career Development and Occupational Studies, and Mathematics, Science and Technology. The content is grounded in the traditional literacies of reading, writing, speaking and listening, and enhanced by the skills of communicating with image and sound. Educational experiences vary in duration and commitment, from one-time field trips, to mini-courses, to residencies.
The 2009-2010 catalog for school programs will be available in February.

Curricula Designed for Replication and Dissemination through licensing to schools, community youth organizations, social service agencies and arts centers beyond our region.
The Media Arts Lab is just that, a laboratory, in which new curricula are piloted, implemented, refined and then adapted for replication. The JBFC wishes to make its programming available nationally and internationally to schools, community youth organizations, social service agencies, and arts centers through licensing and training.
See Hear Feel Film, Cinemania, and Minds in Motion have all been successfully implemented at locations outside of Westchester County.
