Learn in an environment like no other
Little Scholars Program
Little Scholars Program
The FWMSH Little Scholars Program is designed to help bridge the gap between first through fifth grade virtual learners and their district's home campus.
This Museum pilot program supports students with their school lessons in safe, immersive learning environments within the Museum. Students' learning will be enriched by their interaction with scientific specimens, authentic artifacts, and Museum experts.
Don’t delay – The FWMSH Little Scholars Program is in session now! Register now by completing the required forms below. For more information, email littlescholars@fwmsh.org or call 817-255-9416 | 817-255-9309.
What's included
The spring semester of the Little Scholars Program begins on January 6, 2021 and ends on June 18, 2021. Classes meet Monday through Friday beginning at 8 AM and ending at 3 PM, with all holidays following the FWISD calendar.
Ensuring student safety by maintaining social distancing and proper sanitization measures while also providing extraordinary learning enrichment, is a top priority of the FWMSH Little Scholars Program.
Enrolled students will be organized into “pods” of ten, based on grade and home campus. Each pod will have a teacher and an assistant to facilitate their course work. Creative experiences, observations, and interactions with the Museum’s vast teaching collection of scientific specimens and historic artifacts, visits to Museum exhibits and the Noble Planetarium and more, will also be included in a typical week.
Students who have not received a computer from their home campus and do not have one at home will be provided one to use so that they can fully function in their school’s virtual program.
Transportation to and from the Museum will be provided on a need basis (based on proximity of student’s home to the Museum). Breakfast, lunch, and a snack will be provided daily by the Museum’s Stars Café.

FORMS
The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History has a long-established reputation of providing lifelong learning through diverse and creative programs for our community. Qualified teachers will provide participants with facilitation and guidance in their required FWISD lessons in safe, engaging environments within the Museum’s exhibits spaces, galleries, and studios. In addition to assistance with required lessons, additional science and history-based enrichment explorations and activities will be provided by the Museum’s staff. Creative experiences, observations, and interactions with the Museum’s vast teaching collection of scientific specimens and historic artifacts, visits to Museum exhibits and the Noble Planetarium and more, will also be included in a typical week. Not only will students have lesson interaction with qualified teachers, they will also have the additional opportunity to continue to grow socially and intellectually in a stimulating setting.
The objective of the Little Scholars Program is to provide extraordinary learning experiences along with much-needed support for students who either do not have the required technology to do their virtual class assignments from home; or have one or both parents who have limitations on being able to provide home learning consistency. Students who have not received a computer from their home campus will be provided one to use so that they can fully function in their school’s virtual program.
