Homeschooler Mondays 2011-2012

Join our education staff for an hour of self-directed learning in our galleries followed by an hour-long school program, and then we open up our atrium for homeschooled families to eat their lunches and visit.

We recognize that homeschooled families often have children of a variety of ages, so each Homeschooler Monday we will offer a primary program for grades K-3, and an intermediate program for grades 4-7 simultaneously.

We ask that parents of multi-child families attend the program with their youngest child.

Registration is completed on a first come-first served basis. We strongly suggest pre-registering, as we cannot guarantee that there will still be space in the programs, and pre-registration helps our staff plan for equipment and supplies. Registration is limited to 24 children in the primary program, and 30 in the intermediate program.

Fees are $4/child for Museum members and $5/child for non-members. There is no charge for parent/guardian chaperones attending the programs with their children.
