The Parthenon Educational Programs
The Parthenon Education Programs offer a wide variety of opportunities for all ages. The Education Department at the Parthenon focuses on state and national curriculum standards. The Parthenon can be used to explore art, architecture, science and even mathematical problems. All K-12 groups must be guided by a Parthenon staff member or docent. Reserve at least seven days before visiting the Parthenon with a school group.

The Parthenon also offers limited internship opportunities for students.

For questions or additional information on Parthenon resources and opportunities, email our Director of Education at [email protected].
