Prepare your class to change the future
Human rights education is a lifelong process. Through our variously themed programs, including workshops and tours, we strive to give students the tools to help them think critically and with empathy.

Page Navigation
We offer a variety of K-12 school programs onsite at the Museum or virtually from your classroom.
Our programs are designed to be inclusive and accessible for students of all needs and ages. Running between one and two hours, each of our curriculum-based programs allows students to explore and discuss human rights issues through hands-on learning and activities.
All of our onsite programs are followed by a visit to galleries and exhibits that reflect their lessons. We also offer tours, which allow students to explore the Museum’s highlights and specific themes.
Programs and tours are offered daily from September to June. For more information, please visit our hours page.
Additional Time to Explore
Your school booking includes your scheduled program or tour, plus one hour in the Museum for you to freely visit the Israel Asper Tower of Hope, the Museum Boutique, or any other galleries of interest.
Self-Guided Tours
We offer engaging and age-appropriate self-guided tours for students in grades 5–12. The tours include activities to enrich your students’ experience at the Museum.
Please note that all schools and organized groups must book in advance.
Multiple Groups and Group Sizes
The Museum can accommodate several groups of students at a time. The maximum number of students per program varies between 18 to 25 students as there are capacity limitations around certain exhibits and interactives. If your group is larger, we recommend that you call us to discuss options such as staggered start times.
