The Canmore Museum’s education programs feed inquiry, ignite new ideas and foster wonder as we connect curriculum concepts taught in the classroom with learning that comes from engaging with Indigenous and community knowledge keepers, museum collections, and the local places and spaces around us.

Every object tells a story. Through the Museum@School program, history and community comes to life as students discover the meaning, significance, and personal stories associated with objects from the museum’s collection.

The Museum@School partnership offers teachers in Grades 3 to 7 an opportunity to engage with the museum to provide a variety of hands-on, multi-sensory learning opportunities in the classroom, in the community, and in the museum. Student learning is enhanced by meeting curriculum expectations through thoughtful connections to the real world.

You can enrich your student’s in-class education with an unforgettable experience at the Canmore Museum or the Canmore NWMP Barracks. Our interactive interpreter-led programs will appeal to the varied interests and learning styles of your students.

We are looking foward to welcoming students back this spring for our field trip experiences.  These 60 to 90 minute hands-on programs offer students an opportunity to connect objects with stories about Canmore’s history, Indigenous culture and traditions, and the landscapes and are led by museum education staff with a specialized background in museum education.
