The minimum group size is 10 students. Groups smaller than 10 will be accommodated; however, you will be charged for a minimum of 10 students.

Supervisors to Students Ratio
Please ensure that there is a 1:5 supervisor to student ratio with all elementary groups. Middle school and high school groups require a 1:10 ratio.

Supervisors' Roles
The presence and assistance of teachers and adult supervisors is essential during school programs. Program leaders require your assistance in the following areas:

• monitoring students through the duration of the program,
• assisting in the distribution of materials for in-gallery activities and/or art projects,
• assisting with clean-up at the end of the activity and/or art project.

Your help ensures the program's success and the security of your students, and is greatly appreciated by the program leaders. Please make all supervisors aware of the vital role they will play during the program.

The Museum Store
The Museum Store features a selection of unique gifts inspired by works in the permanent collection and special exhibitions. Students are welcome to visit the Museum Store after their school program with adult supervision (ratio of 1 supervisor to 5 students at a time due to limited space). Please allow extra time for a visit to the Store when planning your school visit.

Please notify the Reservations Coordinator at least four weeks in advance by calling (610) 432-4333, ext. 32 to insure that your preferred gallery is available and that your group can be comfortably accommodated. Self-guided visits do not qualify under the M.O.R.E. for Children initiative.
