NYC Arts: The Complete Guide to Art and Culture

History and Historic Preservation is a standards-based learning experience that works within NYC classrooms to teach students in grades 1-8 the history of Greenwich Village and New York City through historic preservation and the built environment. The program offers three separate curriculum choices---Past & Present, Immigration, and streetscape timeline---to illustrate the changing frabric of our city.

Each programs consists of three sessions: a hands on history investigation in the classroom, a Greenwich Village walking tour and a culminating art project back in your classroom. More information is found at www.gvshp.org.education. The program has been educating NYC students since 1991 and receives rave reviews from students and teachers alike:
