Fifth-Grade Busing Program
Fifth-grade classroom and art teachers from Center School and Kansas City, Missouri, School Districts are part of the Museum’s Fifth-Grade Busing Program, generously funded by the H & R Block Foundation. The funds cover transportation costs for school groups to and from the Kemper Museum. The Fifth-Grade Busing Program provides an introduction to contemporary art, introduces students to a free community resource, and makes connections between the Museum’s exhibitions and students' lives. Please download the Busing Fund Request Form and Map. Fifth-grade teachers are encouraged to work together with their school’s art teachers to integrate aspects of the Museum’s tours into the classroom curriculum.
