We know homeschoolers school all year long, however, we know one of the benefits of homeschooling is to be where the crowds are not. Get up close and personal with our STEM Educators and ask as many questions about science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) that your students can come up with!
We invite homeschool families to become Homeschool Pass Holders of the Children’s Science Center Lab and to be a part of our community of support that is dedicated to creating a world-class Children’s Science Center in our region.  A Homeschool Pass gives your family access to fun, hands-on and educational activities focusing on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), Monday through Thursday, 10 am – 6pm, September 9, 2019, through May 21, 2020. To become a Homeschool Pass Holder, stop by the Children’s Science Center Lab, call (703) 648-3130, and present your Homeschool Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) Card or paperwork stating all homeschool requirements of the state have been met.  Any questions, please send an email to membership@childsci.org.
For only $99, this pass comes with admission benefits for the entire homeschool family, including two parents and all children living in the same household.  Passes are not transferable among families or children living in another household.  The Homeschool Pass does not offer the same benefits as a Base Family Membership.  Some restrictions apply.Â
The scientific innovations of the future will dramatically transform the ways we live, work, and play. This future starts with inspiring today’s young learners to build a lifelong love of STEM. We invite you to be a STEM Champion and join our LEGACY SOCIETY.
Including the Children’s Science Center in your will or estate plans ensures that future generations will enjoy the wonder of hands-on STEM learning in their community. Your legacy gift is a significant investment, allowing the Science Center to provide high-quality, engaging experiences for the region’s children, students, and families, who will be equipped to meet the challenges and demands of the future.
Unless you prefer to remain anonymous, the Children’s Science Center will honor your gift with prominent recognition in our annual report and on our website.
Legacy Society Member Sheila Brennan and Her Grandson Christopher
"From my first visit to the Lab, watching children get so excited about science and ladybugs, I knew I wanted to be intimately involved with supporting the mission of the Children’s Science Center. Every child needs this resource.  I have been a teacher my whole life – just not in traditional classrooms. I’ve been a mother, a grandmother and now I’m a member of the Legacy Society. I am making a huge difference in so many children’s lives and I couldn’t be more proud!"
