K-12
As part of its educational mission, the Max Kade Institute brings issues of immigration, emigration, and migration—as well as cultural and linguistic diversity—to students in grades K–12. By making its resources available to teachers and students, the Institute seeks to connect immigrant experiences of the past with those of the present. Innovative, interdisciplinary curricula are being developed to encourage students to examine their roles in society.
