Homeschool

Our Homeschool programs are science and project-based education designed for students aged 6 – 11 years. Each session combines educational activities and games with take-home learning extensions to help students do more in-depth exploration on related topics. Students are encouraged to interact with their instructors between sessions. At the beginning of every session, students will have the opportunity to share their work with the group.

Your child is guaranteed to learn different science topics no matter what year they are in the program, as both age-specific programs run on a 3-year curriculum cycle. We encourage students to sign up annually as each program references previous programs, but we welcome trimester participation.

Homeschool Programs

Sessions run the second Thursday of the month from 9:30am-12:00pm, September – May. Please note that this is a drop-off program.
