School Visits
Sharing the richness of the Japanese American experience
The School Visits Program at JANM supports the museum’s mission to promote understanding and appreciation of America’s ethnic and cultural diversity by sharing the Japanese American experience. Our school group visits and virtual tours encourage students to build personal connections, to think critically, and to engage in participatory learning. On-site and virtual experiences complement classroom learning by exploring the richness of Japanese American history.
Our on-site school visits will resume in late 2026, following JANM’s exciting Pavilion renovation. In the meantime, we invite you to explore our Virtual Visits, Educator Workshops, and FREE Education Resources!
Virtual Visits
Designed for age-appropriate engagement, students will interact with JANM staff and/or volunteers to learn about Japanese American stories that give meaning to history.
Educator Workshops
Collaborating with educators to share the Japanese American experience with students is an important part of furthering our mission. JANM offers professional development workshops for classroom teachers and other educators.
Education Resources
FREE activities and resources for learners of all ages that make learning about the Japanese American experience engaging and exciting. Resources include printable offline activities, origami videos, web resources and lessons, printable curriculum, and more.
