Education
Spiral Q has collaborated with a number of schools and programs such as Huey School, Lea Elementary, the Norris Square Civic Association's after-school program at McKinley Elementary, Feltonville Intermediate, J.S. Jenks School, Reynolds and Vaux Schools, and the Communities in Schools (CIS) Initiatives at Peirce and William Dick Schools, some of which have limited access to the arts, through programs and activities that teach the students the logistics of constructing a puppet as well as encourage student's right to be seen and heard. According to the Program Director at Spiral Q, the theater concerns itself primarily with showing students how their thoughts and ideas can be communicated through the construction of puppets. The theater encourages students by providing the vehicle through which they can express themselves.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take this examination system seriously. If another ladder to employment was contrived, much so-called education would disappear, and no one would be a penny the stupider.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“Statecraft is soulcraft. Just as all education is moral education because learning conditions conduct, much legislation is moral legislation because it conditions the action and the thought of the nation in broad and important spheres of life.”
—George F. Will (b. 1941)
“Shakespeare, with an improved education and in a more enlightened age, might easily have attained the purity and correction of Racine; but nothing leads one to suppose that Racine in a barbarous age would have attained the grandeur, force and nature of Shakespeare.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
