Our Education Philosophy

Educational opportunities provided by the Thomasville History Center move full “S.T.E.A.H.M” ahead to encourage learners of all ages to get hands-on with history. Whether a curriculum-based program like classroom outreaches, travel trunks, and field trips, or immersive experiences like excursions, camps, and workshops, the Thomasville History Center believes that history and storytelling are for everyone. We’re here to help you on your journey!

Prioritize experiences over listing facts.

This is not school, and there are no tests.

The entire campus is our classroom.

Embrace the small joys and big learning opportunities.

“Do” more than listen.

Active learning is a choice with lasting positive effects.

Schedule the Unscheduled.

Be in the moment and follow your curiosity.

Busy does not prevent boredom.

Engage the whole human, not just the brain.

Outside voices

Be respectful of others while realizing the need for movement and expression.
