Since 2001, Dia has worked closely with the Beacon City School District to develop an in-depth and extensive Arts Education Program (AEP) for the students of the Beacon City schools.

Internship Program

Dia is expressly interested in creating educational programs for students in all levels of schooling. Dia runs an ongoing internship program with Vassar College, but recruits interns from other institutions as well.

The internship program at Dia:Beacon’s Education Department focuses on museum education, addressing it on two levels: Docent-work (for which the students are trained to lead tours for schools visiting the museum) and Education Proposal Development responsive to the museum’s collection, geared at K-12 (for which the students are engaged in an ongoing discussion of pedagogical issues).
