Segerstrom Center for the Arts is committed to providing all residents in this region with opportunities to enhance their knowledge of and appreciation for the performing arts. This includes students from elementary school through the university level, educators and individuals who simply want to broaden their experiences but not in a structure that is strictly academic. These programs achieve two especially important objectives: they develop the audiences of the future and, by integrating the arts into the standard curriculum, enhance learning, creative thinking, cognitive and social skills.
The Center’s Arts Teach Program features an extensive roster of more than 75 professional artists in music, dance, theater and visual arts from around the globe who specialize in performing for school assemblies, family nights, student workshops, teacher professional development and residencies. These occur at the Center, in schools and at community venues throughout Southern California. Arts Teach is an enriching arts-in-education program that provides the wonder and excitement of live performance and hands-on activities to schools and community organizations.

Civil War Living History in the Classroom (for grades 4-12): Bring the American Civil War to life with a special visit from Private John Le Monte of the 10th Louisiana Infantry Regiment or John Watkins of the 24th Michigan Infantry Regiment. In workshops conducted in the first person, actor Jon Monastero immerses students in a very personal portrayal of the life of a common soldier with an emphasis on either the Union or Confederate experience. Through engaging activities and dialogue, students develop critical thinking skills and a unique, first-hand perspective of life during one of the most influential moments in our country’s history.
