Homeschool Educational Track:
Civic Engagement: Preparing Future Leaders & Becoming Active Citizens
ABOUT Civic Engagement TRACK
Our “Preparing Future Leaders & Becoming Active Citizens” Program is in the form of in-person and virtual real-life learning experiences throughout the year.
In this K-12th program, homeschool students and families will have various opportunities to build their basic civic knowledge and understand their role as active citizens in a fun and engaging way.
We will be exploring aspects of our government and how our country operates!
Learning to be a productive and involved citizen of our United States is critical to our country’s future.
See below for more detailed information about our Civic Engagement Educational Track & Civic Engagement Field Trip Series.
Our learning experiences are ALL non-government funded.

September CONSTITUTION WEEK* (Virtual)
Description: The US Constitution is the most exceptional political document ever written. All through this experience, students have the opportunity to learn about America’s Founding and the Constitution in a fun and engaging way! We also cover the values and ideas that have made this country so great.
This experience is a combination of online resources, activities, and one interactive Zoom Meet Up (replay is now available from September 16th recording). Each day has anywhere from 15-40 minutes of challenges and learning activities. Since this is self-paced, use our timeline as a guide and adjust based on your family’s schedule and bandwidth. You can access this experience after Constitution Week as well.
