Educator/School Programs
At the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park, our goal is to serve every school and every student. We are proud to offer a variety of innovative field trips aligned with Missouri State Standards and invite educators to download our K-12 School Programs Brochure for more information on this year's exciting programs. Individual fliers and detailed GLEs for specific programs may be downloaded by using the Gallery + Classroom and Thematic Tours pages. For more information on our K-12 offerings, please call Education Coordinator Lisa Gilbert at 314-454-3116.
During the 2008-2009 school year, we experienced a 300% increase in student attendance at the Museum. In light of this increased attendance, we must emphasize that in order to guarantee the quality of all students' experiences, all school visits must be arranged in advance, whether guided or self-guided--and the sooner the better, because our programs are popular and book up fast! Groups without advance reservations cannot be assured that their preferred galleries or times will be available. Don't miss out--call our reservations hotline at 314-361-9017 today!
Lunch space update: Schools requesting space to eat lunch must speak with Education Coordinator Lisa Gilbert at (314) 454-3116 prior to their visit. During the fall semester, if given advance notice, we will do our best to provide you with lunch space. We regret, however, that we are unable to guarantee that a room will be available. During the winter semester, demands on building space mean that we are unable to provide space to eat lunch from January through May 2010. Please discuss alternatives with Reservations by calling (314) 361-9017.
Bus money update: Schools requesting bus money refunds must speak with Education Coordinator Lisa Gilbert at (314) 454-3116 prior to making a reservation. Our reimbursement program is exhausted for Saint Louis and Saint Charles counties, but limited funds still remain for Saint Louis City. We are maintaining a list of interested schools from both Saint Louis and Saint Charles counties and will contact them when and if new funds become available. To be included on this list, please call (314) 454-3116.
