Homeschool Programs

We offer a Fall and Spring session. Each session is 6 weeks long, on Fridays. Classes run from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm.

Any homeschooled student between the ages of 6-9 or 10-13 can join our programs. We do not have graded assignments but participants are expected to follow instructions, complete activities, and participate in group projects and discussions.

We have created a rotation of topics so that different classes are offered each year.

Our classes are split into four major subject areas:
Life science (Dr. Z): ecology, plants+animals, cells and genes, anatomy
Earth science (Mrs. Roberts): weather, geology, marine science, chemistry
Physical science (Ms. Marye): astronomy, physics (motion), physics (electricity/magnetism), engineering
Tech (Mr. Nallapati): 3D printing, coding, robotics, game making

Registration is easy through our online registration system. Tuition is due in full upon registration.

We have a 5% sibling discount, and a 5% multi-program discount. This only applies to programs in one transaction. We also have a social sharing discount code that you will receive during checkout – if someone uses your referral link, you will get credit toward a future program!

Please call us (860-677-8571) or email us (programs@tmsc.org) for a tour for your family to see the campus!

A private web-page will be created as a google site for each session, and emailed to you.
For each day of the program, the teachers will create a curriculum document outlining what activities/lessons were done, plus a resources section with links to learn more about that day’s topic. Those documents, as well as a photo gallery, will be posted on the site.

Arrival is at 9:30am. Students work with their instructor until 11:20, when they break for lunch and recess until 12:05. Lunch and recess are outside, weather permitting. Some classes have a snack break at 10:15. Then they will continue activities until pick up at 1:30.

Transportation is not provided to TMSC for homeschool programs. Students should be brought to campus by car. Drop off/pick up is at the main building (the first building on the left when you come through the gate). Please carpool whenever possible, as we are located at the end of a narrow private road.

All students should bring a snack and lunch, and dress appropriately for the weather. Weather permitting, students will be outdoors at lunch and recess. We recommend students bring a notebook, folder, and a pencil. Please make sure all items (lunch boxes, water bottles, backpacks, jackets, etc.) are labeled with your child’s name. 

If your child is ill or has a fever or symptoms of a communicable disease, please keep them home – and call the main office to let us know your child will be absent.

If your child will be taking or needs any medication during the hours of the vacation program (this includes over-the-counter, inhalers, epi-pens, etc.), please print and fill out the following form:

Medical Authorization Form (to be filled out by your child’s physician)

Medication must be in its original packaging with prescribing information intact. Please put the medication inside a clear ziploc-style bag, labeled clearly with your child’s name, with the medical authorization form inside.

Since students are driven directly to our campus for homeschool programs, you may bring the medication on the first day, and hand it directly to a staff member. Do NOT send the medication in your child’s backpack.
