Our Partnership with the Huntington The Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens selected Chandler School as one of their official School Partners. This partnership has allowed our students to learn by enhancing their curriculum in this collaborative program with a blend of classroom and museum education. Our teachers work with The Huntington’s program educators to develop opportunities for hands-on
learning and enriching experiences, aligned with the curriculum taught in our classrooms. Beyond the benefits of enhancing studies in art, gardening, English and science, we are able to offer access to The Huntington for Chandler School families. Together, this partnership supports a community of inquiry, life-long learning, and enhanced student achievement.
When I greeted the Chandler students at The Huntington for their Seeds, Soil, and Surprises School Program, it brought back a flood of memories of visiting local cultural institutions with my Chandler classmates. - Kristin Brisbois ’07, School Partnerships & Program Assistant at The Huntington Read more about Kristin in “The Rest Is Art History” on page 41.
