Shelburne Museum

Pack your bags for an educational adventure at Shelburne Museum!

Passport to Learning is an exciting series of twelve interactive workshops for students in grades K-8 that meet educational standards from Vermont’s Framework of Standards and Grade Expectations/Common Core State Standards and introduces students to concepts and themes in art, language arts, math, science, and social studies through a facilitated exploration of Shelburne Museum.

• We offer Passport to Learning each spring and fall. We are currently accepting reservations for May 13 through June 14, 2013. Monday, June 10 is reserved exclusively for homeschooling families.
• We can accommodate up to 200 students per day.
• Group arrivals are staggered to aid traffic flow through the workshops.
• Workshops run concurrently from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The last workshop session of the day begins at 1:30 p.m.
• Workshops begin promptly on the half hour.
• Each workshop closes for a 30-minute break during the day.
• Workshops run on a first-come, first-served basis.
• Workshops can accommodate between 10 and 20 students at a time. We encourage classrooms to divide into small groups of 4 to 6 students each, with at least one chaperone per group.
• You may choose to complete as few or as many workshops as you would like. We recommend that students in grades K-2 attend 2-3 workshops and students in grades 3-8 attend 3-5 workshops in a visit.
• Every student receives a passport upon arrival. At the completion of a workshop each student receives a stamp in his or her passport.
• Every student receives a pass to return to the Museum for free with one paid adult.
