This summer, we are updating our School Group Visit program. Please check back in a few weeks for more information about opportunities for the 2026-2027 school year.
Reach out to [email protected] in the meantime with questions or feedback.
When are school group visits available? The Capital Jewish Museum currently offers School Group Visits Wednesday-Friday and Sundays, starting at 10am. Visits should be scheduled with at least one month’s notice.
How do I book a School Group Visit? Follow this link to the request form. Once submitted, you will receive a confirmation email with next steps and an invoice to pay a $50 deposit within one week.
What is your policy on chaperones? We require one adult chaperone for every five elementary aged students and one adult for every ten secondary aged students. Required chaperones are included in the cost of the visit; additional chaperones can be added to any visit for an additional $10 per adult.
My school has limited financial resources (including Title 1 status). Can I still plan a visit? Finances should never be a barrier to learning. If cost is prohibitive, please email [email protected] and we’ll work with you.
What about my group’s accessibility needs? We welcome learners of all backgrounds and abilities. The Capital Jewish Museum is an ADA compliant facility and our Educators are trained to accommodate learning differences. Please specify your group’s accessibility needs in your School Visit Request.
None of these visit options are quite what I’m looking for. Can I customize? Yes, custom programming can be created for your group. Pricing may vary; please email [email protected] to coordinate.
What other educational resources does the Capital Jewish Museum offer? Visit the Educator Resources page to access free, downloadable primary sources and lesson plans, or check out upcoming Educator or Youth and Family programs!
Education programs at the Museum are made possible, in part, by Sue Ducat in memory of Stanley Cohen, z”l, The Alper Education Fund, The Bresler Family Education Fund, The Michael Goldstein Education Fund, The Doris & Robert I. Silverman Endowment, and The Morse-Loeb Fund.
