HOMESCHOOL ACADEMY
New-York Historical Society’s Homeschool Academy provides hands-on history workshops designed to supplement your lessons. Students from ages 5–17 visit our galleries, classrooms, and studio spaces to learn US History from artifacts, works of art, and primary sources that illustrate the events from the 17th through the 20th century. Student participants will engage in investigative processes, art-making, close reading, and creative writing activities that develop their content knowledge and historical thinking skills. Classes visit the permanent collections and special exhibitions regularly, making the museum their home away from home.
For the 2019-2020 school year we are offering four classes, divided by age. Students must be the required age for their class by the first scheduled session.
Space is limited, so sign up today! To register call (212) 485-9264 or email homeschool@nyhistory.org. Click the links for series dates and descriptions.
