programming for Schools and community groups

Virtual School and Community Programs

The SDCHM is excited to offer virtual, educator-led programs for school groups from grades K-12, as well as college and community groups. Our Classroom Exhibit Presentations (CEP's) engage learners through presentations, guided discussions, and interactive activities. We offer CEP's on five different topics, including:

The Rise and Fall of the First Chinese Emperor
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

For more information about CEP's, please review our brochure. Each CEP topic can be tailored for delivery to a range of age groups (from elementary school to retirement age).

If you are a teacher or group leader and would like to request program delivery, please fill out our online form.

Virtual Programs FAQ:

Virtual school programs are available Mondays through Fridays at 9:30am, 11am, and 1pm.
Programs are 60 minutes long, are offered live online, and take place using Zoom. We will do our best to accommodate requests for programs using other digital platforms.
Programs are designed for one class at a time, allowing museum educators to tailor the program according to your students’ needs. Each virtual program is limited to 30 participants per session.
All programs require at least 1 teacher or chaperone present online for the duration of the program.
Reservations must be made at least two weeks in advance.
We typically charge $50 / 1 hour session for the delivery of CEPs. Please note that we will be able to offer a promotion in early 2022 (01/01/2022 - 03/31/2022) for requesting schools / community groups. As always, we will continue to provide programming for free for Title I Schools (please contact us at education@sdchm.org for more information).
