When students enter Coastal Heritage Society museums, classroom lessons turn into hands-on discovery, real-world connections, and moments that stick long after the field trip ends.

“We bring our students to Savannah Children’s Museum every spring as an integral part of our unit on pollinators. The Busy Bee program is an exceptional complement to classroom learning: engaging, hands-on, and curriculum-aligned...The combination of thoughtfully designed programs and welcoming, skilled staff makes Savannah Children's Museum an invaluable field trip destination. It provides memorable, high-impact learning that reinforces classroom instruction and inspires a lasting interest in science and discovery; reasons we will continue to return year after year.”

- Christine Bartlam
Kindergarten Teacher at Tybee Island Maritime Academy

Across all six Coastal Heritage Society sites, educators like Christine are using museum experiences to turn curriculum into something students can see, touch, and remember.

These programs are only possible with community support. Your contribution helps support museums as educators and helps ensure students across our region continue to experience high-impact learning beyond the classroom.
