Education Programs


Glencairn’s education programs are designed for a diverse range of ages and learning styles. Using object-based learning they invite discussion and discovery, build understanding, inspire self-reflection, and connect students to people of the past and present. Each of our K–12 programs has been carefully crafted to align with Pennsylvania State Education Standards.

These programs may be offered on-site at the Museum or in the form of a traveling or digital program.

Whether in person, or digital, our educators are passionate about providing immersive, interactive, and accessible educational experiences.


Financial Assistance

Glencairn is committed to making our educational programs accessible to all students. Financial assistance is available for all of our programs in two ways:

  • Transportation Grant - Up to $200 per group is available to offset transportation costs to and from the Museum for an on-site program.

  • Reduced Ticket Price - A reduced price for student tickets is available for on-site, traveling, and digital programs, and can vary based on the needs of the group.

Please note that assistance is provided on a first-come, first-served basis, with eligibility determined by several factors.

To request one or both forms of financial assistance, please fill out our Education Program Request Form or contact Nick Conte, Education and Tours Manager, at nick.conte@glencairnmuseum.org or call 267.502.2992.
