The Montshire Museum of Science offers unique programs to enrich your family’s homeschool curriculum with opportunities for inquiry-based science learning. Through these multi-week drop-off programs, a small group of learners will engage in hands-on, creative exploration of science, technology, engineering, math and the arts at the Montshire.
Homeschool groups are also invited to schedule their own group visit and a staff-led workshop. Organize a ‘school visit’ to the Montshire, sign up for special Homeschoolers’ Days and workshops, or visit on your own.
Become a Montshire member and visit the Museum as often as you like.
For more information please call 802-649-2200 (Monday–Friday, 8:30am–5pm) or email montshire@montshire.org
