Architecture in the Schools

Architecture in the Schools (AIS) matches volunteer architects with public school teachers to enrich the learning experience of children. With the aim of reinforcing core academic skills, AIS teaches children how to exercise their analytical and creative skills through the architectural design process. Architecture in the Schools also fosters a heightened civic consciousness, bridging the gap between what is learned in school and everyday life.
