Higher Education: Graduate Programs: MA in Art Education with an Emphasis on Special Populations After months of planning, Moore announced in summer 2008 the creation of three unique new graduate programs designed to prepare motivated men and women with the skills, knowledge and resources to become professional artists, designers and teachers. The program is low-residency, recognizes the critical value of professional exposure and requires a field practicum, internship or international studio residency. Programs emphasize critical thinking, innovation and synthesis of theory and practice. Self-directed research and rigorous inquiry are key components. Candidates work closely with professionally active faculty artists, educators and designers, as well as work independently with professionals in the field. The program hosts an annual symposium featuring guest speakers of national and international significance, focusing on contemporary issues. The program features summer intensive, evening and weekend year-round scheduling that are well suited for working adults seeking to acquire new skills and perspectives in their current studio, design or teaching practices. Programs began in May 2009.

Continuing Education and Youth Programs Moore offers certificate programs as well as single credit and non-credit courses for men and women who want to learn new skills, advance their careers or simply learn for their own personal enrichment and fulfillment. Offered during the evening and weekend hours on Moore's campus, continuing education courses are available in digital media, digital photography, fashion, interior decorating and the fine arts. Courses combine a flexible and dynamic approach to learning while remaining grounded in the time-honored strengths of Moore's BFA programs and award-winning faculty, who are committed to sharing their expertise and bringing real world experience into the classroom. Approximately 160 adults enroll in Moore's continuing education courses each year. Moore's Teachers Summer Institute is designed to enhance the culture of teaching and to empower learning in and through visual art. A professionally directed program of studio-based workshops offers educators the opportunity to expand studio skills, deepen personal direction, and discover new applications in educational practice. Moore offers a full range of educational programs for boys and girls grades 1-12, from its historic Young Artists Workshop to its innovative Summer Art & Design Institute for High School Women. Established in 1922, the Young Artists Workshop (YAW) enables young people to have direct involvement with art making, encourages self-directed learning, and enables authentic learning experiences. The YAW program serves approximately 525 boys and girls each year. YAW classes are ongoing and are scheduled for ten Saturdays in the fall and ten Saturdays in the spring. In summer, Moore offers single day and one-week programs for students in grades 8 -12, Monday through Friday and on Saturdays. A variety of classes are offered, introducing students to the joy of creative exploration and developing their artistic skills through a range of media and techniques. The Summer Art & Design Institute for High School Women (SADI) is a four-week pre-college residential program open to young women who have just completed their sophomore, junior, or senior year of high school. The Institute allows dedicated students who are passionate about their artwork to spend four weeks developing their skills as artists and designers. Upon successful completion of the program, students will earn 3.0 college credits. Students choose a studio concentration emphasizing Fine Arts, Fashion Design, or Digital Animation. Each week of the program includes three days immersed in the studio concentration, as well as two days in the intensive portfolio development program: basic drawing, life drawing and two-dimensional design. All of these subjects are designed to prepare students for the college admissions process. Students are taught and guided by exceptional faculty who are professionals in their fields and committed to sharing their knowledge of art and design. Additionally, students benefit from required activities such as artists' studio tours, museum and gallery visits and other exciting cultural events that expose them to the larger arts community in Philadelphia.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
