Museum Of Arts And Sciences Homeschool Programs
Whether you are an Unschooling or Homeschooling family we hope you consider allowing the Homeschool programs at the MOAS to support your efforts. Our approach to a lesson is always to encourage interaction and team work among the participants. The students will enjoy the intermingling of humor and content as they make their way through a lesson. Lessons are typically very active, and the venue may change a few times during the same lesson.This is to utilize the many facilities that the Museum has to offer. Students are often given take home resources and suggestions for further information on the topic. These are great as the Homeschooler's portfolio builds all year long.
For a list of our current classes available for Homeschoolers please visit our calendar.
