School groups can explore the Yale University Art Gallery’s collection, buildings, and exhibitions on free interactive guided class visits. Visits for school groups are led by the museum’s Wurtele Gallery Teachers, Yale graduate students trained as museum educators. Class visits stress critical thinking, observation skills, and creative evaluation through close examination, interactive activities, and discussion of works of art and are tied to Common Core Standards. During the pandemic, pre-K–12 students visited with their classes and as part of after-school programs. School groups can schedule virtual single visits or work with the Education Department to develop virtual multi-visit partnerships.
