School Programs

Starting in the 1997 school year, the National Museum of the Pacific War initiated an innovative education program both for visits to the Museum and for use in schools. Teachers can bring their classes to the Museum and enjoy docent-guided tours of the facilities and a living history program at the Pacific Combat Zone. For more information on scheduling a school tour, go to our School Tours and Teacher Orientation link.

To support your tour of the museum there are a series of ten Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) based lesson plans that you can download prior to your visit. Visit our TEKS based lesson plans for Educators.

For those schools unable to visit Fredericksburg, a complete array of other options is available, including visits by the living history interpreters, WWII veterans, or access to the museum’s traveling footlockers, which contain a wealth of artifacts from the Pacific War to enable teachers to bring the 1940s into their classrooms. For more information on the educational opportunities presented by the National Museum of the Pacific War contact the Museum Education Director at 830-997-4379, ext. 227.
