A Smirkus Residency is an extended visit to your school by a circus professional who shares circus skills with students each day for one or two weeks.

Imagine...

Increased learning skills
Motivated students
All-school participation
Good PR for the school
Involved parents
New standards-based lesson plans
Enhananced school climate
. . . And a rousing, rip-roaring all-school circus performance -- that you don't have to produce!!

A Circus Smirkus school residency is all of this.

It's an unforgettable experience, filled with educational value. Our residencies are designed to enhance learning skills by introducing your students to a wide range of circus arts. Along the way students gain confidence, focus, and persistence.


"Spectacular!!
Our students loved it!!"

~ National Presbyterian School, Wash. D.C.

Circus is a unique and inspiring way to teach children, and to promote community involvement at your school or organization.  

Our program also includes a curriculum guide, jam-packed with circus related lesson plans for art, music, science, history, math, and language skills.  Each lesson is designed to meet one or more state standards.

The best part -- every Smirkus residency ends with an exciting all-school circus performance!  Parents will love it! And we take care of everything -- props, staging, music - the works.


Why a Circus Residency?

Circus is a non-competitive physical art form that extends easily to any part of the school curriculum. Circus training requires the same dedication, discipline, and hard work of any sport, but it stresses collaboration rather than competition.
