DreamYard is an arts education organization committed to building stronger public school communities and neighborhoods. Since 1994, DreamYard has developed a program which provides an educational pathway for students from Kindergarten through 12th grade, a pathway in which the arts are an integral aspect of how children learn. This year, a team from DreamYard is serving as Artists in Residence at Marble Hill, and this group is helping the students put together their own production of Cyrano De Bergerac. |

Many
of our teachers are involved in the Peace
Corps Fellows Program. Since 1985, this program at Teachers

to pursue master's degrees at Teachers College and gain state certification
and city licensure. |
