Education Programs at the Museum of the City of New York

Education Programs at the Museum of the City of New York Education Programs at the Museum of the City of New York. Education programs produced by the Museum’s Frederick A.O.

Schwarz Children’s Center utilize exhibitions and our incomparable collections to make the city’s history compelling and accessible to young people, serving nearly 40,000 students each year, the great majority of whom attend under-resourced public schools. The Center’s programs address the persistent, city-wide problem of student underachievement in social studies. Our approach to the subject chal

lenges children to build their critical thinking skills: interpreting evidence; connecting new information and prior knowledge; drawing reasoned conclusions; and communicating their conclusions and reasoning clearly. These skills are crucial to children’s success in school, in the workplace, and throughout their lives. Programs take place in the Center’s state-of-the-art classrooms, Museum galleries, and in the city itself. All activities—including our flagship School Programs for groups visiting on field trips, out-of-school time programs, family programs, and professional development workshops for teachers—are led by trained museum educators.

Our thanks especially to our event partner, Drawing New York, Vera Safire, and The Grand St. Stompers who provided the brilliant music.

"Muslims have been woven into the fabric of New York since the city’s origins as New Amsterdam and today New York’s diverse Muslim community—immigrant and American-born, from multiple racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds—constitutes an estimated 3% of the city’s population, some 270,000 people living in all five boroughs. They represent an important part of the diversity that the Museum of the City of New York’s rich photography collection chronicles."
