The
Polynesian Cultural Center is pleased to offer a variety of educational
programs and materials that provide an introduction to Polynesia and
a range of customized experiences for children — either as part
of an organized school field trip or as accompanied by their parents.
For many years the Cultural Center's
educational program for school keiki (children) was called
Junior Guides. We recently enhanced the program, which is now
called Polynesian Explorer.
For
example, the Center has compiled a curriculum kit to help teachers prepare
their children before visiting the PCC as well as providing appropriate
follow-up activities.
The Polynesian Cultural Center also
works with education-oriented adult groups, such as Elderhostel and
visiting university classes. Brigham Young University Hawaii's Center
for Instructional Technology and Outreach (CITO), which is adjacent
to the PCC, has worked with many such groups over the past 40-plus
years, and even offers a course where visiting teachers can earn in-service
credits.
Contact CITO (cito@byuh.edu)
at BYU-Hawaii for more information.
