Student Tours
Sponsored by
Jack & Goldie Nomberg Foundation
We are currently accepting reservations for virtual and in-person school tours and field trips. Student tours are FREE and funding for bus transportation is available for Title I schools*. Please note that we experience our highest demand between January and May, so consider scheduling your group's tour as soon as possible.
All education programs are aligned with the California Content Standards for English-Language Arts and History-Social Science. Student tours are customized per class and available for students in 5th grade and up. Our staff tailors each tour to meet the educational needs of your students.
Tours are docent-led, artifact-focused, and inquiry based. Docents engage students through analytical thinking and closely examining the Museum’s exhibitions and artifacts.
Tours are available in Hebrew and Spanish by request.
