Programs & Resources for Homeschooling Families
At-Home Anthro Live
This free weekly virtual program is geared towards an elementary school audience. Join us at 1 pm every Tuesday for a 45-minute lesson that digs deeper into world cultures, archaeology, or anthropology with demonstrations of hands-on projects students can try in the classroom or at home.
Virtual Passport Days
Choose from three Virtual Passport Days on select Fridays throughout the year. These low-cost experiences include two 45-minute live virtual sessions scheduled at 11 am and 1 pm. Registrants also gain access to a virtual classroom space full of digital activities, videos, and articles to further explore the theme throughout the day. Each student will receive a Virtual Passport worksheet to keep track of where they have “traveled” during each session.
Student & Family Activities
Browse activities designed for K-12 students and their families. Organized by theme, these resources include coloring sheets, word puzzles, hands-on activities, kid-friendly articles, and more!
Family Programs
