School Programs

Heide Learning Programs offer accessible, high quality opportunities for Victorian primary and secondary students to engage with modern and contemporary art in various contexts across five different gallery spaces, and with active learning in Heide’s sculpture park and extensive gardens.

All programs are devised in collaboration with teachers to align with curriculum goals in F-10 and our engaging tours and workshops bring diverse art practices to life for students across all year levels.
