Education
at Pacific Historic Parks
Historic sites, such as the ones found in your park, generate excitement and curiosity as well as encourage imagination. Visiting local sites can help students make important connections between social and scientific disciplines and nurture an appreciation of preserving their island's cultural, natural, and historical heritage.
Pacific Historic Parks invites you to enhance classroom learning and broaden the learning experience for all youth. Utilize the park's resources and connect the standards taught in your class with a visit to the park.

War in the Pacific National Historical Park

Our aim is to provide an enriching and valuable experience for each and every student who comes our way. Classes are encouraged to go to the Visitor Center for a free movie, interact with exhibits, and explore an outdoor park site on their own.

We offer curriculum-based programs involving hands-on investigations taught by park educators. We also can visit your classroom and speak to students about the impact of World War II on Saipan.
