Students and Teachers

We are now offering both on-site and virtual field trips for grades 3–12. Onsite field trips to the Museum are free for all New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut schools. Virtual field trips are also free for New York City and New Jersey schools. 

These inquiry-based activities explore the history of the World Trade Center, the events of 9/11, the role that first responders played, and the many ways the country has changed in a post-9/11 world. 

Offered every year on and around the 9/11 anniversary, this interactive program, formerly known as Anniversary in the Schools, connects participants with Museum staff and guest speakers to learn about the attacks and the importance of commemoration. 

The 9/11 Memorial & Museum offers a collection of first-person accounts of the attacks and their aftermath as a part of the annual Digital Learning Experience program.

Teacher workshops address the challenges of teaching difficult content and explore interdisciplinary connections to your curriculum through Museum tours, hands-on activities, and group discussion. The 9/11 Memorial & Museum is an approved CTLE sponsor.

The Teen Ambassador program is a yearlong, stipend-based, afterschool experience for students entering grades 10 to 12. It offers a behind-the-scenes look into the 9/11 Memorial & Museum and the ongoing issues raised by 9/11.
