Our student circus program is an extremely fun, educational, and hands-on multi-day event. Every single child not only gets to see a professional performance, they also get to learn at least one circus skill. Then we work with your target group to perfect those skills and put on their own show. It’s exciting for the kids, parents love seeing their children on the stage, and it’s a winner for the school.
Here’s how it works:
You get two of our world-class, and highly trained circus artists to your school for 5 days.
Day 1: We host a school-wide assembly and every student participates in workshops to learn age appropriate circus skills
Days 2-4: Your target group signs up for the skill they want to perfect and create and rehearse their acts
Day 5: We orchestrate a final rehearsal and put on an exciting performance for the students, parents, friends and family.

We use circus skills to not only teach your kids physical skills such a focus, timing and coordination but also invaluable life skills such as teamwork, confidence and communication. But don’t worry, we’ll never tell. For the kids, the circus is just fun, active, and exciting. We select age-appropriate skills that are perfect for your group. Here are some of the skills that we can teach at your school:
We customize our programs to fit your budget, schedule, available spaces, and the age and number of participants.
Budget:
We can provide you with a budget based on your specific needs and the information you provide to us. Additionally, we can provide you with tips and suggestions for fundraising, based on our long experience.
Schedule:
We know you have a full schedule and requirements to meet. That’s why we work to create schedules that fit as much as possible in your regular daily class schedule for PE. We have decades of experience adapting our programs to whatever time is available and other programs you are planning to ensure their success.
Participants:
We select acts & skills that are appropriate for the kids not only in physical ability but also based on their style & culture, personalities. We create a theme for their student circus or adapt to their existing theme. Plus, every year we change themes to keep our programs fresh year over year.
We are the original pioneers of in-school circus programs. Over 30 years ago, we brought circus education to mainstream education. We’ve perfected what makes a successful engagement and are constantly coming up with creative new ways to present the circus.
We know our programs are only as good as our staff. That’s why every one of our specialists are not just circus specialists, they are also education specialists. Each one undergoes extensive training in instructional language, classroom control & what works best to engage and make kids successful. In fact, we’ve been brought in to do professional presentations and teacher in-service training at dozens of physical education and arts-in-education conferences including EDA-AAHPERD, NYSAPHERD, CAHPERD, MAHPERD, RIAHPERD and were chosen to present at the National Institute of Health annual Safety, Health & Wellness Day in Washington, DC.
