Programs for Students
We develop and present a range of innovative educational experiences for primary and secondary school students, both Jewish and non-Jewish, that respond to the Victorian Curriculum and Jewish Studies curricula from Prep to Year 12. Our education programs cover issues of identity, community, migration, multiculturalism and world religions – and reinforce Victoria’s stated commitment to raising young people who are able to engage positively in our multicultural society.
We illuminate Jewish life, offering resources both in person and remotely. If you are interested in undertaking a program with us remotely, contact us at education@jewishmuseum.com.au
