Shakespeare in American Classrooms

SCLA’s Shakespeare in American Classrooms initiative is a national program for educators supported by the U.S. Department of Education's Assistance to Arts Education program. 

It offers urgent and innovative curriculum that illuminates Shakespeare’s perspective and some of the core Renaissance Humanist principles contained in his plays, such as:

  1. Mercy Seasons Justice - The Merchant of Venice 

  2. Time travels in divers paces with divers people - As You Like It 

  3. Suit the action to the word and the word to the action - Hamlet

  4. Equality by our best eyes cannot be censured - King John 

Aligned with English Language Arts standards, this groundbreaking curriculum draws upon three decades of SCLA’s best practices, award-winning arts-based youth development and youth employment programming.
