The Museum offers six unique programs for students from pre-school to 8th grade, all of which serve to connect them with this area’s rich maritime heritage as well as the environmental issues challenging the Chesapeake Bay.
All of the Annapolis Maritime Museum’s education programs include topics related to Anne Arundel Country Public School curricula: language arts, social studies, science and math concepts through the use of vocabulary, journals and hands-on activities.
The Chesapeake Champions is an extended day program offered to Annapolis City elementary schools that occurs twice-a-week for 5 to 6 weeks. As a Chesapeake Champion, the students embrace the motto that they are “Caring, Conserving, and campaigning for the Chesapeake Bay.”
The Bay Icons, 4th grade program occurs as 3 half days. Students are exposed to pre-programming by staff and volunteers in the classroom before their 3-day fieldtrip.
