programming for Schools
On-site programming
The SDCHM provides a variety of programming for schools at our sites in downtown San Diego. We provide tours of the permanent and special exhibitions on-display at our Mission facility, as well as of the surrounding Asian Pacific Historic District, site of San Diego's historic Chinatown. We also offer hands-on workshops for school groups, such as calligraphy and brush painting demonstrations in the garden adjacent to our Mission facility.
Please note, at the present time due to the global pandemic, we are only able to provide virtual programs, delivered via Zoom. We will update this webpage when we are open for on-site visits. Thanks for your understanding!
Classroom Exhibit Presentations
The SDCHM visits classrooms across San Diego County, providing Classroom Exhibit Presentations (CEP's) on a number of topics, including:
- The Rise and Fall of the Qin Dynasty
- Pre 20th Century Chinese contributions to science and technology
- The art of Chinese Calligraphy
- Traditions of the Chinese Lunar New Year
- Early San Diego Chinese American History
Please note, as mentioned above, at this time and due to the global pandemic, we are able to deliver CEPs strictly via Zoom. If you are a teacher or group leader and would like to request program delivery, please fill out our online form.
