Each session’s topic will be taught by highly skilled educator, curator, biologist or historian in one of the two Museums. Registration is required for each session. You may reserve your spot for all five classes and receive a discount. Receive an additional discount by becoming an Anniston Museum Member. Each class is limited to 25 students but must have a minimum of 10 participants to be presented. Classes will use the resources of each Museum to the fullest. Students will get the opportunity to visit behind-the scenes, explore the Museum’s collection, see live animals up close and personal and enjoy a variety of indoor and outdoor activities during these sessions. This Academy is specifically designed to reach older students from grades 5th–12th.
