| Museum-School Partnerships 2010-2011
The Frick Collection is proud to partner with several New York City schools in a series of intensive museum-school partnerships. These partnerships, developed by Frick educators in collaboration with classroom teachers, are designed to meet the unique needs of each school's curriculum and foster a love and appreciation of the fine arts. Partnerships allow teachers to use the museum's resources to expand learning outside the classroom. Combining interactive discussion in the museum with hands-on projects in the classroom, students create their own meaningful connections inspired by works of art at the Frick.
