The Knight School Tours Program is free. Students, teachers, and chaperones receive free admission during their visit.

Tours are offered on most Thursdays and Fridays during the school year. To see the most up-to-date schedule, explore the request calendar.

Students will tour three highlights from our permanent collection and special exhibitions. We prioritize creating student-centered learning opportunities that emphasize depth of engagement over breadth. During the tour, Teaching Artists lead students in inquiry-based discussion and hands-on activities. If you have a particular focus in mind or would like us to make connections to your classroom content, please include that information when requesting your tour. It is not possible to see all galleries and exhibitions during a field trip. We invite students, teachers, and chaperones to visit the museum on their own to enjoy all that PAMM has to offer. Knight Schools Tour Program participants will receive a Family Pass at the end of their visit, granting them and their families free entrance during a future visit

If you are requesting a field trip for a high school group, you can request a self-guided option on the calendar.

All M-DCPS schools are eligible for free transportation. Unfortunately, we cannot provide transportation for private schools, home schools, or schools outside of the county.

We contract private vendors that are approved for us by the M-DCPS Department of Transportation.

We ask that you bring 1 chaperone for every 10-15 students. Depending on your group size, we will work with you to accommodate additional chaperones. In order to receive free admission, the number of chaperones must be communicated and approved by PAMM beforehand.

Chaperones are free when accompanying a school tour. Chaperones must stay with the group at all times as they tour the museum.
