Virtual Field Trips with NCMA give students the opportunity to engage with objects in the museum’s permanent collection, from the classroom!
About VFTs
During these FREE, interactive experiences with a museum educator, students actively engage in discussion and develop visual literacy skills through closely looking at, describing, and connecting with 2-3 works of art.
Virtual Field Trip Length:
- Kindergarten – 5th grade – 30 minutes
- 6th – 12th grade – 30 or 45 minutes (teacher’s choice)
Class Size:
- minimum # of students – 5
- maximum # of students – 30
- If you have more than 30 students, or 1 class, please sign up for multiple sessions.
The NCMA welcomes students with disabilities and diverse learning needs to participate in our virtual field trip program. Virtual field trips can be customized according to a teacher’s recommendations to ensure the accessibility of the experience. Live captioning (in several different languages), audio description, and ASL interpretation are available upon request.
