Feature Films for Education

This grant funds a one-year subscription to two movie streaming services in support of the Art of Film elective class, as well as other courses that show films as part of their literature curriculum. The “Feature Films for Education” film streaming collection offers students access to hundreds of full-length modern and classic films – the best Hollywood has to offer. The collection significantly expands the curriculum by providing access to a far greater range of films than the classroom DVD libraries currently provide. This service also eases the process of viewing film clips, allowing students and teachers more time to engage with the films during class. The grant also provides the “World Film” service, giving students access to the films from home and making it easier to complete homework. This grant fully supports the district’s vision to be on the forefront of creating impactful and innovative learning by more easily harnessing the storytelling power of film as a tool to engage and inspire students.
