School in the Park (SITP) offers a transformative educational experience by immersing students in the rich history and culture of Balboa Park. Surrounded by iconic landmarks, majestic trees, and gardens, students step out of the traditional classroom to engage with their learning in a unique setting. Museum Educators integrate standards-based lessons within the vibrant environment of the museums, creating a robust, welcoming, and safe space that emphasizes experiential learning.
With a hands-on approach, students are encouraged to think critically, be creative, collaborate, and problem solve. SITP goes beyond textbooks, bringing history to life, inspiring students to dream big, and pushing the boundaries of traditional education. This program fosters an environment where students can thrive and explore new horizons in their educational journey.
