We plan one residency for each grade K-5. Each resident artist will visit every classroom (9-11 total classrooms per grade) in 3 different schools: Coffin, Harriet Beecher Stowe and St John's Catholic School .
Please see our links, 2008/2009; 2009/2010; 2010/2011; 2011/2012 for examples of residencies that have been presented in the past few years.

Class size varies from 13-25 students.
