Student Field Trips

 

The L.A. Conservancy's student tours are about much more than historic architecture in Los Angeles: they’re filled with inspirational stories reflecting the rich diversity of the people​ behind the places.

Enrich your student's learning experience beyond the textbook, take them on an in-person Student Walking Tour or virtual field trip: an entertaining mix of architectural and cultural Los Angeles history!
Led by Conservancy educators, our engaging student tours and workshops support California’s Common Core State Standards in History and Social Studies—as well as highlight important lessons about the preservation of historic sites.
In 2023, the Los Angeles Conservancy joined the Los Angeles Unified School District's Black Student Achievement Plan (BSAP) focused on improving learning opportunities and educational outcomes for Black students in Los Angeles. The Conservancy’s Student Walking Tour Program is offered as an enrichment opportunity to support student learning.
