Homeschool classes are taught by our experienced naturalists and use the extensive resources in Quarry Hill Park to create unique, locally based science experiences that support at home learning while building respect for the natural world. 

These classes are for homeschooled students only, are based on age, and are offered two times during the school year. Topics rotate from year to year.
