schoolinthepark: School in the Park is an innovative program that shifts the location of "school" from a traditional classroom setting in an inner-city, public school, to the resources and educational opportunities available at museums in Balboa Park. A relevant instructional environment is created as hands-on learning challenges students to become active participants in their own education. All third, fourth, and fifth grade students at Rosa Parks and Alexander Hamilton Elementary Schools spend eight weeks over the course of the school year in San Diego's famous Balboa Park where they participate in week-long educational programs at ten institutions. In essence, the students spend about twenty percent of their school year learning in this real world setting.
