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 up to 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 the school curriculum, support culturally relevant learning, and give teachers tools to bring the arts into classrooms.

Tickets are $8 each, with scholarship assistance available. Click here to download our order form. If you have questions, please contact Ben Frandzel at frandzel@stanford.edu.

To apply for financial aid by mail, please fill out the order form and attach a letter explaining the need on school letterhead signed by your principal. On the order form, indicate the number of scholarships requested and include payment for your paid attendance (total attendance less scholarships requested). We encourage you to include demographic information about your school. This information is important for internal reporting purposes, but will in no way affect the determination of scholarship awards.
