London Museum School is moving! Click here to learn about the exciting changes.
Move your classroom to the community & feel the thrill of discovery!
The LONDON MUSEUM SCHOOL PROGRAM provides elementary students with a valuable week of learning and discovery. This innovative approach to education allows teachers to move their classroom to a museum setting for a full week of curriculum-based experiential learning. Daily journal writing and drawing are integral parts of each day as they allow students to slow down, observe, reflect and make connections to the world beyond the classroom. This interactive,
Award Winning Program enables students to develop their writing, problem solving and critical thinking skills.
Teachers work in partnership with museum educators to deliver a program that is rich with hands-on, authentic learning activities that result in student success. Programming is shared between the museum staff/volunteers and the classroom teacher who has access to the various exhibits and resources of the museum site. The week-long schedule of activities consists of both museum-led programs and teacher-planned activities and instructional time.
London Museum School makes the arts, science and
Canadian history come alive!
