How it Works
Homeschool at Sea courses are offered seasonally from September through November. Two-hour courses are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 to 11 a.m. or 1 to 3 p.m. Each session is $40 per student.
Each week is a unique theme offered to three different age levels:
- 4 to 6
- 6 to 9
- 9 to 13
The day, time, and age ranges rotate weekly to accommodate various schedules.
These courses are designed to be drop-off programs. However, ONE parent/guardian per family is welcome to shadow. We also offer a family day, when all ages are welcome. On family day, at least one adult chaperone is required per family.
All attendees must register and pay. ONLY registered participants are allowed to attend (no younger or older non-registered siblings).
