The Museum provides educational programs and activities for students in both primary and secondary school, for the year 2010-2011. Its programs aim to bring schools and students into close contact with ancient Greek civilization and the Museum exhibits.

Educational programs for schools are available in Greek only. The Museum suggests the following programs for teachers and students:
