Weekly English Language Arts, creative writing, and poetry instruction delivered during the school day. Lessons reinforce Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) while strengthening literacy and core competencies through reading, discussion, writing, and revision.
Scheduling is tailored to each campus's needs. In-school sessions are held during an existing class period, such as English Language Arts, theater arts, an ancillary class, or a designated free period. Schools typically schedule one class period per week for each participating group of students, while others choose longer class blocks.

Annual Student Showcase & Poetry Anthology: Every spring, Iconoclast Artists honors its students at THEY SAY, an inspiring celebration of creativity, courage, and achievement. Students become published authors in the annual THEY SAY poetry anthology and perform their original work for a large, diverse audience.
In Houston, hundreds of supporters gather at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, to celebrate the publication of the anthology and applaud the students' accomplishments. In Galveston, students and families are honored at a THEY SAY celebration held at a prestigious venue, such as The Bryan Museum. Both events bring together families, educators, community partners, and supporters to celebrate our students’ achievement.
Proceeds from anthology sales support scholarships for students pursuing higher education or career training.
