Circus Comes to School
Wise Fool’s Circus Comes to School (CCS) program serves hundreds of students in Santa Fe each year.
Circus Comes to School (CCS) started in 2010 and partners with schools to offer circus programming that support in-school classes. Programs are tailored to fit each individual classroom, school, or teacher’s needs with regards to timing, curriculum, theme, or age group with support from us – but they always bring fun, fitness, and creativity into the classroom.

How does CCS Work?
We are most often connected with gym, art, or dance teachers because those subjects align most with what we already do on a classroom level. We also love working with teachers outside of these subjects, especially if we have to get creative!
Examples of CCS Collaborations
- Site Santa Fe
- Puppet-making based around Language Arts reading curriculum
- Giant Puppet-Making as part of an Art class's curriculum
- KIVA Program
Program Duration
We are willing to meet YOUR needs for each CCS program, and are well-accustomed to fitting programming into short windows (like 30-45 minutes).
What this could look like: 1-2 day “workshops,” 4-8 week sessions, or an entire semester! Typical time blocks are between 45 minutes – 2 hours.
Pricing
Our mission is to offer low or no-cost programming so that circus arts remains accessible for all students. The majority of our CCS programming costs are covered by grant funding.
We do need to take costs into account on our end to see what scale of programming we are able to offer, but our typical 6-week program is usually well within our range to offer at 50% cost or lower.
