K-12 Programs
Teachers are welcome to bring their K–12 classes to the Getty Center. For details and an online request form, see Planning a School Visit.

Three options are offered for K–12 teachers who wish to bring classes to the Getty Center:

• Self-Guided Visits—you and your chaperones lead students on a tour of the Museum. We offer Visit Activities and other inspiring ideas for self-guiding groups.
• Student Architecture & Garden Tours—a docent guides your students on a multi-sensory lesson about art beyond the walls of the Museum: the gardens and architecture of the Getty Center.
• Guided Visits—Museum educators guide your students on a highly participatry, thematic lesson focusing on a selection of works of art in the galleries.

K–12 Programs
Teachers are welcome to bring their K–12 classes to the Getty Villa. All school groups must make reservations using the Getty Villa School Visit Request Form. See Planning a School Visit for more information.

Two options are offered for K–12 teachers who wish to bring classes to the Villa: Self-Guided Visits led by classroom teachers and chaperones, and Guided Visits facilitated by Museum educators. All teachers who plan to bring students to the Villa for the first time are required to attend a Teacher Orientation Workshop in advance of their visit.

Themed galleries and interactive spaces, such as the TimeScape Room at the Villa, help students and chaperones develop a better understanding of the arts and cultures of the ancient world. An outdoor picnic area and storage cabinets are also available to schools visiting through the school visit program.

For more information about school programs at the Villa, please contact the Education Department at (310) 440-6550.
