Education should be a lifelong engagement and we challenge our students with multidisciplinary classes that dissect, question, and illuminate various aspects of everyday life. Saturday School (SS) is ongoing, we are continually inviting cultural producers who represent a variety of professional practices to participate in our temporary and nomadic teaching institution. Each instructor is asked to teach a course about something in which they are truly interested. Their lesson plans intersect many aspects of everyday life, their practices and their personal interests.

In total, these courses explore the roles of cultural producers and consumers along with the mitigating role of education. Each course blurs the distinction between viewer and participant enabling the viewer to become an active student engaged in a learning process. SS attempts to demystify the function and significance of cultural production by equipping the viewer/participant with real and applicable knowledge about culture. This is accomplished by placing the viewer/participant in a position of direct instruction from the cultural producers. By providing an alternative curriculum and model of instruction, the faculty of SS prompt a broader interrogation of culture itself by confronting the mind of the student.
