“We want to ensure the courses in Coolidge Classroom support the work that is already going on in schools as opposed to being some sort of cherry on top. As we design a program that is relevant and supportive to four different disciplines, seven grade levels, and dozens of districts, there is a lot of cross reference that needs to happen.” – Director of Education Sophie Blum, who has been working with the advisory committee to create the program

Off to a strong start

In late September, we welcomed more than one hundred students from Brookline High School for our very first Coolidge Classroom modules. Led by Coolidge Education Director Sophie Blum, the students watched coming-of-age story Dìdi and discussed its themes, character analysis, relevancy to their own lives, and much more!
