Due to COVID-19-related travel and field trip restrictions on schools, the Rock Hall is pausing its well-respected Toddler Rock and Rockin’ The Schools programming in person this fall, and providing parents and teachers with many of the programs’ resources, such as Rock N’ Learn worksheets and activities, at Rock Hall EDU.

Rock Hall EDU posts new content regularly and encourages parents and teachers to submit requests and feedback to [email protected].

Rockin' the Schools

Rockin’ the Schools programs are on-site, interdisciplinary classes on the history of rock & roll that meet academic content standards. Classes draw on the power of rock & roll to get students excited about academic content areas from fine arts, language arts, and social studies to mathematics, science, and technology. 

• Our staff of highly trained educators teach one-hour, interactive classes. 
• The program is FREE for schools within zip codes that begin with 440, 441, 442, or 443.  For schools outside of those zip codes, please for information on rates and registration.
• Students can continue learning in the museum after the class by self-touring related exhibits.
• Free busing for Cleveland Metropolitan School District schools (restrictions apply).

• The Haslam Scholars program provides free admission and classroom instruction to CMSD students and extends these benefits to Title 1 schools statewide. Through this program more students will have the chance to benefit from our Rockin’ the Schools programs and experience the power of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
