知识的根源 provides dynamic, hands-on learning experiences for K–12 students through a range of engaging programs in connection with the renowned stained-glass mural. These include school tours, the “Finding Home” field trip for elementary students, the “Woven Stories” field trip for secondary students, and a variety of online resources for teachers. Each program encourages students and educators to explore new modes of understanding, curiosity, careful observation, and self-reflection.
For groups larger than 35 students we offer a custom school tour that includes an introduction to 知识的根源 (10–20 minutes), a brief tour to highlight relevant content (20–30 minutes), and exploration time (20–30 minutes) to utilize our themed scavenger hunts or other educational resources.

An additional 60 minutes can be spent in the gallery afterward to eat lunch or spend more time with the installation.

她说：“今年，我带领全班同学进行了多次实地考察。 This has been the best field trip we have been on. It connected to the social studies standards while incorporating language arts, social and emotional learning, and art standards in. It was hands on and informative all at the same time. My students were engaged in their learning in way that not every program has offered us this year. I can't wait to bring my next group of students back.”
“艺术品真美！” In 3rd grade we learn about the Native American people, so I loved the connections made with that, and they even got to make their own carving in the clay. I enjoyed the creativity of them making their own home, and I loved that they were trying to think of one of the aspects they wanted to create in their home.”
“谢谢你带我去野外旅行。 I liked all the facts about the stained glass and the stories behind them. 但我也喜欢做房子。 That was one of my favorite field trips. 非常感谢。”
“谢谢你让我们来！” 我喜欢在弗吉尼亚大学。 这幅画太漂亮了！ I can’t believe how these people made such a pretty stained-glass wall for all of us to see and enjoy! 四年是很多工作！ My favorite picture was the tree that looked like a hand holding a torch!”
