How many students can I bring?
Our new Center for Education and Community Engagement can accommodate up to 45 students and chaperones. Moviehouse 1 can accommodate more than 400! We look forward to facilitating dialogue among students from multiple schools, classrooms, or disciplines simultaneously, so whether your class is large or small, you’re invited!
Is this movie a good fit for my students?
We encourage teachers to preview films and refer to Common Sense Media when determining whether a film is appropriate for their students. We are also happy to consult on sensitive content and available scaffolds for discussing challenging subjects. For questions about curricular applications, email sophie@coolidge.org.
More about our curriculum
In curating films that speak to themes in STEM, world language, social studies, and ELA, we strive to build a series that reflects the plural, intersecting identities of our students, including a variety of documentary and narrative, classic and contemporary, international and American films.
Coolidge curriculum addresses both Massachusetts State Frameworks and the Learning for Justice Social Justice Standards.
Program designed by Director of Education Sophie Blum in collaboration with an advisory committee of local high school teachers representing 5 districts and 4 core disciplines.
