Art and STEM for Homeschool (Fall Session 2026)
Advertisement
• Thursdays: September 10 – December 17, 2026
• 11:00am – 2:00pm*
• Ages 4-12 are welcome
Come join us for a fun and enriching 12-week Art & STEM program designed especially for homeschool students! This hands-on, interdisciplinary class nurtures creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving through engaging weekly sessions.
Students will be split into two age groups (Ages 4-6 and 7-12) to ensure age-appropriate instruction, activities, and peer interaction.
Each weekly session includes:
🎨 Art Class – The first half of the day is all about creative fun! Kids will explore drawing, painting, sculpture, and more while learning about color theory and amazing artists from history. It’s a mix of hands-on art-making and inspiring stories that spark confidence and imagination. (11am–12:15pm)
🥪 Lunch Break – A social, in-session lunch (brought from home) gives students time to connect and recharge before diving into the next activity. (12:15pm–12:45pm)
🛠️ STEM Class – In the second half, students will dive into the world of STEM with hands-on projects that blend science, technology, engineering, and math. From exploring simple machines and circuits to experimenting with materials, measurement, and design, they’ll build foundational STEM skills through fun, age-appropriate challenges and teamwork. (12:45pm–2:00pm)
❤️ Caregivers may drop off their children or stay on the premises.
⭐️ You can sign up for the full program—which includes Art, STEM, and Lunch—or choose just one class. Each class will include the lunch break.
