School Program Results

"The residency was fantastic, very motivating. I was amazed by how much my students enjoyed it."

-Elva Smith, Dewey
The kids love us!

Barrel of Monkeys is proud of the children we work with and the work they create. Over the course of a BOM residency, each student writes at least six original stories, which is more than the average CPS student writes in an entire year. While it can be difficult to measure the results of our programming, we do our best to get rigorous evaluations so that we can continue to improve our program.
