Dear Educator,

Your mission…if you choose to accept it…is to explore the secret history of history with the International Spy Museum (SPY). Our standards-aligned resources are designed to spark curiosity, deepen historical understanding, and build critical thinking skills for your students. 

• SPY's Digital Learning HQ – Dive into a growing online database of virtual content, videos, and activities. 
• Lesson Plans – Explore ready-to-teach lesson plans that connect intelligence to key historical themes like propaganda and the Cold War. 
• Field Trips — Plan a visit to the SPY (Washington, DC) to explore interactive exhibits displaying stories and artifacts from over 2,000 years of history.  
• On-site & Virtual Student Workshops – Book one of SPY's hands-on, interactive workshops where students test their spy skills, practice analysis, and explore history through the lens of intelligence. 
• Classroom-Ready Artifacts - Access images of spy gadgets that played a role in history.

Whether you're teaching history, civics, or more, the International Spy Museum has everything you need to bring espionage-—and history—to life in your classroom.
