For Teachers

Tuzigoot National Monument offers many educational opportunities for students to experience the natural and cultural history of the Verde Valley. The park is an ideal outdoor classroom in which to explore the Sinagua culture and appreciate the values and practices of preservation. There are many ways to use America's treasures as teaching tools, and we love to work with you to teach students the importance of the special places we all work together to preserve and protect for future generations.

We welcome students of all ages, from preschoolers to senior citizens! If you are planning to visit Tuzigoot with a school group, please see below for more information about field trips, or check out our curriculum materials.
