Over the next 5 years, ANC will develop 27 educational modules on topics ranging from military conflicts to the contributions of service members in society. Three modules are available now, with the fourth module, on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, to be released this fall.
The African American Experience at ANC module features materials on life after emancipation, the Freedman’s Village that once existed at Arlington, the civil rights movement, and the achievements of segregated military units such as the Tuskegee Airmen.

Resources for teachers and students include primary-source readings, worksheets and lesson plans for elementary, middle and high school students. Lesson plans align with national and state social studies standards and can be easily adapted for homeschool or virtual learning.
For families and “lifelong learners” (anyone curious to know more about ANC or American history), we also offer curated readings and walking tours. The walking tours may be used either during an in-person visit or for virtual exploration of the cemetery.
