School Programs

At the New Haven Museum, the Education Department is pivotal in reaching out to people of all ages in the Greater New Haven area and beyond. Each year, Pre-K-12 and college students visit the Museum to participate in interdisciplinary, inquiry-based programs that highlight various aspects of New Haven’s history, including the history of the Quinnipiac, the American Revolution, the Amistad revolt and trial, migration and immigration to New Haven and its emergence as an industrial city.

With the large numbers of underserved students in New Haven schools, the Department applies grant money to offer partial or full financial assistance to ensure that all area children have the opportunity to learn about their own city. When booking programs, please inquire about any possibilities for financial assistance.

Not only does the Department offer programs at the New Haven Museum, it brings the programs to offsite locations, including schools, senior centers and libraries. These outreach programs are integral in making the Museum a useful and accessible resource for all community groups.
