Education

Jimmy Carter National Historical Park provides a variety of education programs for students in Pre-K through twelfth grade. Educators can register their classes for an on-site field trip, virtual field trip, or an in-classroom education program. To see available dates, go to our School Group Bookings calendar.

Ranger In Classroom Program
Can't come to us? We can come to you! One of our Education Technicians can come to your school to facilitate educational activities that align with the Georgia Standards of Excellence. We offer programs in the subject areas of Social Studies, English/Language Arts, and Environmental Science for grades K-12.

Virtual / Distance Learning Program
Schedule a virtual field trip with us! A member of our park staff will engage with students through a live video tour and chat session. This option is available for multi-class schedules and can be adapted to meet your scheduling needs.

Park Visit / Field Trip
On-site field trips are offered with standards-based, grade specific, activities. Reservations are required for guided educational programming. Students participate in hands-on, cross-curricular activities as they learn about President Carter’s childhood, political career, and the influential people in his life.
Max 60 students (groups will be split into groups of 20 and then scheduled in rotations). If your group/grade level is larger than 60 students, please plan to schedule multiple days for your school.
