Education

• Program dates can be found below. If a date must be rescheduled, notification will be posted on our social media and be sent to families who have already purchased tickets. 
• In the event of inclement weather, Homeschool Days events will follow Bradley County Schools cancellations. 

• Sessions are held from 10:00–11:30 a.m. Participants should plan to attend the full amount of time listed for the program, unless otherwise noted.  
• Please do not arrive more than 5 minutes early, as the museum opens at 10:00 a.m. 
• Families are asked to leave the learning areas within 15 minutes of the program's conclusion to allow staff to prepare for the next scheduled event. 

• Tickets must be purchased at least three (3) days in advance, either online or in person. Tickets are non-refundable (with the exception of event cancellation by the museum). 
• If your family is unable to attend, please notify the museum before the event. When possible, tickets may be transferred to another eligible Homeschool Days program. 
• Transferred tickets must be used for one of the designated Homeschool Days events and remain non-refundable. 
• This policy allows the museum to accurately plan staffing, materials, and activities, as each ticket reserves space and resources for a specific program. 

• Homeschool Days welcomes learners of all ages; however, activities are primarily designed for ages 5–14. 
• Learners younger than age 5 are welcome to participate in select activities with assistance from a parent or guardian. 
• Unless otherwise noted, sessions include learners of all ages. 

Help us create a positive learning environment by following these guidelines: 

• Have fun and be ready to learn! 
• Be respectful and cooperative with museum staff, fellow learners, and family members. 
• Use supplies and materials responsibly and only in the provided quantities. Materials are prepared based on registration numbers, and extra supplies may not be available. 
• Walk at all times inside the museum. 
• Do not lean on exhibit cases or touch objects in the galleries unless museum staff identifies them as interactive. 
• Food and drinks are not permitted in exhibit galleries. Water bottles are allowed in the education room. 
• Please refrain from using cell phones during educational programs. 
• The museum reserves the right to dismiss participants who repeatedly display disruptive or inappropriate behavior. 

• A parent or guardian (18 years or older) must remain in the designated learning areas throughout the program. 
• Encourage your learner to work independently whenever possible, providing assistance only as needed. 

• A signed media release must be on file for all participants under age 18. 
• Once submitted, the release will remain in effect for future museum events unless a parent or legal guardian requests changes in writing.
