    Fall 2024 Programs

    Our CARD Homeschool Director, Ms. Dallas, is excited to create programming full of laughter and learning that is not confined to the four walls of a classroom but instead expands into the great outdoors and the realms of creativity. In our programs for homeschooled kids, every day is an opportunity to explore, create, and learn in ways that ignite curiosity and passion. From hands-on science experiments that fizz and bubble with excitement to outdoor adventures that unveil the wonders of nature, our programs are designed to inspire young minds and forge friendships that will last a lifetime. Join us for CARD’s Homeschool Programs—where the journey is just beginning, and the wonders never cease.

    We always want to hear from you! As we continue to refine and cultivate programming for homeschoolers, we would love your feedback!  Help us serve you by filling out this quick 3-5 minute survey at: https://bit.ly/CARDHomeschool
