K-12 Students and Teachers
Stanford Live's K-12 engagement programs increase access to the arts and offer a range of opportunities for participation, learning, and discovery. We are dedicated to nurturing and supporting the next generation of artists and arts lovers. Each season we offer approximately 5 student matinees, 5 teacher workshops, and over 100 hours of in-school programming through our artist-in-schools programs.
Performances
Our student matinee series introduces students to a broad range of art forms and world cultures, with programs suitable for all grades. They let students experience the magic of live performance, expand school curriculum, support culturally relevant learning, and give teachers tools to bring the arts into classrooms. Student matinees for the 2024–25 season will be announced in late April 2024.

Teacher Workshops
We support educators’ professional development with workshops presented by leading teaching artists, promoting arts integration and culturally responsive pedagogy.
In-School Programs
Since 2016 we have a longstanding residency in the Ravenswood City School District with teaching artists Quinteto Latino. We provide individualized coaching and professional development for the music teachers, as well as guest- and co-teaching classes and leading creative projects for students.
