We would love to accommodate your group! We can run many of our school programs with a group of eight or more. Come and immerse your students in the lives of children who lived on Huguenot Street 300 years ago. Enjoy hands-on experiences through historically-inspired activities (adaptations and modifications can be made for the needs of your class depending on age and ability). Our school programs have been recognized by the NYS Cultural Education Department for adhering to the leading NYS standards and Common Core standards. Homeschoolers are welcome!
