How partnering works
Discover
Explore our offerings and tell us about your enrichment needs.
Plan
We build the program that fits right into your existing schedule. We take care of all logistics leading up to a smooth launch.
Launch
Our Teaching Artists arrive prepared and excited to engage with students. We share learning outcomes with you starting from day one so you can follow along easily.
Showcase
Students exhibit what they learned. If logistics allow, it’s a great opportunity for families to join and engage with the program.
Culture Club fills your after school, before school and intersession hours with music, dance and martial arts that keep students coming back. We handle the details, from compliance to equipment, curriculum, training and culminating events.
After school, before school & intersession
Weekly classes during the school year, plus programs that fill summer, winter and spring intersessions.
Staffed to ELOP ratios
10:1 for TK and kindergarten and 20:1 for grades 1 and up. Bigger group? We can discuss additional support to keep us compliant.
Quality Standards for Expanded Learning
Every program is designed to support California’s Quality Standards: active, engaged, skill-building, youth voice, and healthy choices.
Reliable Teaching Artists
Our Teaching Artists are trained in classroom management and behavioral intervention, in addition to their artform. Substitutes are pre-assigned to maintain consistent student progress.
Compliance made easy
We handle Live Scans, TB clearance and Mandated Reporter training. End-of-session summaries that boost attendance and enrollment.
A showcase to finish strong
Every session ends with a student showcase, which encourages engagement and builds community.
Prop 28, the Arts and Music in Schools Act, gives every California public school new yearly funding for arts education. Culture Club partners with schools and districts to turn that funding into standards-based music and dance instruction during the school day, built to add to your arts offerings and never replace them.
Do you know about the waiver?
Prop 28 asks most districts to spend at least 80% of their funds on school staff, which can leave little room for arts partners. Districts can ask the California Department of Education to waive that rule. Contact us and we’ll explain it quickly and easily, so you can make the most of your funding.
Adds, never replaces
New arts instruction on top of what your school already offers.
Co-planned with teachers

Grows year over year
