Education

The Peabody Essex Museum is an authorized professional development point provider. We offer a wide range of educational services and programs, including special seminars on a host of relevant subjects from the China trade to the Salem witchcraft trials. We also offer a variety of popular field trips.

Our school programs are developed by curriculum specialists. The programs are presented by trained museum professionals. They employ hands-on, inquiry-oriented multicultural and multi-disciplinary methods that are tailored to your specific grade level. For most programs, we provide materials for you to use in preparing for the visit and for follow-up afterward in your own classroom.
