Heide Education

Heide Education Programs provide stimulating, interactive opportunities for thinking and activity in a creative environment. Designed to broaden and enrich the learning experiences of students and teachers, Heide Education offers participants of all ages the opportunity to learn about and respond to modern and contemporary art and history through a variety of programs based on the Thinking Curriculum.

Heide Museum of Modern Art is a unique experience, as students not only have the opportunity to view the changing exhibitions, but can experience outdoor sculptures, heritage-listed architecture, significant historical gardens and a range of art-making workshops.

Heide provides education services that can enhance the school curriculum in disciplines such as the Arts, English, the Humanities and Languages Other Than English (LOTE). Cross-cultural learning is emphasised, with students using Heide's artworks, architecture and environment as a catalyst for engagement, discussion, debate, research and art-marking.

Teachers can also extend their own knowledge and expertise through Heide's Professional Development sessions.

Visitors with impaired mobility can be dropped off in the Federation Way Car Park (entry via Banksia Park, 5 Templestowe Road), however buses should then return to Templestowe Road to park.
