Whether planning a field trip to Aztec Ruins, scheduling a ranger classroom visit, or exploring the park virtually, we can help you provide a fun and memorable experience for your students. Teachers can find a variety of digital resources to use with their classes here. For scheduled programs, in-person and virtual, teachers must fill out an Education Reservation Request Form. Completed forms should be emailed to the Education Coordinator at AZRU_Education@nps.gov. Once received, the Education Coordinator will work with you directly to get your class scheduled.

Engaging your students with Aztec Ruins National Monument can happen in a few different ways:

  • Teacher self-guided field trips.
  • Ranged-led curriculum-based 2nd, 4th, or 7th grade programs.
  • Virtual or in-classroom visits.
