The Storybridge School Program is designed to teach language, reading, and interpersonal skills and to help develop literary and artistic skills through theater and storytelling. Over a 12-week period, Stagebridge, a senior theater group, helped 5th- and 6th-grade students at John Swett Elementary School write and perform stories based on interactions with significant elders in their lives.

Other components of the program included workshops for instructors that encouraged them to incorporate storytelling into their teaching and storytelling assemblies by Stagebridge storytellers, designed to spark children's imaginations and creativity. Fifth-grade students also participated in the Grandparent Tales Writing Contest; they interviewed grandparents, and then wrote stories based on this interaction. The stories were shared in the classroom, as well as in a public, inter-generational performance in Jack London Square.
