Field Trips/Education Programs
Valley Forge National Historical Park offers four different education program choices during the 2011/2012 academic year. The programs are designed for third through eighth grade students, but may be adapted for other grades. All programs are intended to link classroom curriculum with experiences in the park.
There are free and fee based programs which can be reserved on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from October through May. Reservations must be submitted at least two weeks in advance of the date requested. Reserve yours today!
Professional Development
Teacher-Ranger-Teacher Program
Education is a core part of the park mission. School programs related to park history were successfully delivered to over 3,500 students a year. However, this is only a fraction of the approximately 5 million school children who live within field trip reach of the park. Learn more about how you can be involved in the Teacher to Ranger to Teacher (TRT) program, read about other TRT experiences and bring more of the park into your classroom throughout the year.
