While our building is undergoing an incredible renovation, we are reinventing our programming for students from elementary through high school and are SO excited about what’s to come! We have been talking to teachers and developing a new suite of offerings to meet the needs of students and schools in new and exciting ways – ways that bring to bear the tremendous depth of the Folger and all we can offer students.
Reopening Friday, June 21, 2024
We look forward to welcoming and re-engaging with ALL schools and ALL students when our building reopens in June 2024.
Secondary School Shakespeare Festival
The Folger Secondary School Festival has brought all kinds of middle and high students to the Folger for over 40 years. It’s a treasured memory for generations of people from Washington, D.C. and the wider DMV. Students and teachers come together for a day of learning by doing. After a three-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Secondary School Shakespeare Festival returns for a two-day mini festival on Wednesday, May 22nd and Thursday, May 23rd.
Lily McKee High School Fellowship Program
Due to the building renovation project the Lily McKee Fellows program is on hiatus. We expect to return for the 2023-2024 school year with a newly energized program that is accessible to a wide range of students across DC.
Children's Festival
While there will be no Children’s Festival for the 2022-2023 school year, we can’t wait to welcome students back to the Folger when we reopen our building in 2024. Check back soon for more information.
