Our Youth Programs

Promoting Learning and Leadership Through the Arts

SCORE! (Students Creating Opera to Reinforce Education)

Students Collaborate as Playwrights, Composures and Choreographers

SCORE! provides students ages 9-13 with the opportunity to create, develop, and produce their own original opera production over the course of a year. Through the program, SCORE! students learn “life-skills” such as the value of collaboration, group dynamics and leadership skills. The overall goal of SCORE! is to empower children and their families with an orientation for success through the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and abilities around a tangible public product.

Girls in Motion

Building Self-Esteem and Awareness in Young Girls

Girls in Motion extends the regular classroom core curriculum into the after-school environment for girls through a variety of interactive arts-based strategies, with the support of high school mentors who participate in their own professional development program and develop their own arts integrated lesson plans.

We focus on self-esteem and body awareness including fitness instruction with a Certified Personal Trainer, dance and movement specialists.

Girls in Motion will be coming back in January at Washington School. This after-school program partners with elementary schools to offer the free program to their 3rd & 4th grade girls attending the school.

If your school is interested in partnering with

Hamilton Wings, please contact us!
