Plymouth School Programs
The Blake Planetarium audience is composed primarily of Plymouth students. It is the intention of the school district that every Plymouth student attend a minimum of one program in the Planetarium each year. Our School Programs Provider, Mr. Davies, collaborates with staff to craft standards-based programs that fit best within each grade-level and content-specific areas. 

Out of District School Programs
The Blake Planetarium also hosts out of district programs during regular school day hours.  The cost is $150 per program with a maximum seating of 72.  Programs are aligned to the Massachusetts Science and Technology/Engineering Curriculum Framework.  Descriptions of these programs can be reviewed in advance on our website.

The Blake Planetarium is located inside Plymouth Community Intermediate School. Once at the school, enter the building and turn left.  The planetarium is down the hallway on the right, behind the curved brick wall.  

Insight Observatory has partnered with the Plymouth Public Schools to increase the number of hands-on astronomy-based learning experiences for students.  Through the generous support of Insight Observatory, students are able to use the expertise of amateur astronomers and remote imaging tools to conduct astronomical research projects and complete deep-sky imaging.
