Twice a year, in the Spring and Fall, Colonial Williamsburg sets aside several weeks that are designated as ‘homeschool experiences’. They offer special prices for homeschool families that include all of the exhibits and also special ‘hand-on’ opportunities. This year’s fall homeschool days will be from September 11-26, 2010. We’re especially excited since we’ll be studying Early American History this year!!!

Advance tickets are available for some GREAT prices compared to their general ticket prices {the one-day tickets are normally $39/adult and almost $20/student for the same thing!}:

~ $7.50/one-day adult ticket or $10.50/two-day ticket

~ $5.50/one-day student ticket or $8.50/two-day ticket

You can view ticket information on the Colonial Williamsburg website and download the Fall Home Educator Order Form. Don’t forget to print off the Home Educator Flyer too!  Here’s a little more info about the fall homeschool days:

“In the fall, the experience focuses on government, politics, and the Revolution. Families are encouraged to participate in the Revolutionary City® programs as well as the other diverse offerings in the Historic Area. In addition, homeschoolers have the opportunity to participate in exclusive meetings with a Person of the Past.”

Other upcoming dates to mark on your calendars:

Spring 2011 Homeschooler Experience ~ February 26–March 5, 2011
Fall 2011 Homeschooler Experience ~ September 10–25, 2011

Wanted to pass along the dates for the 2010 Homeschool Days in Colonial Williamsburg to you all in case you are interested! Dates are not up on the Williamsburg site yet, but here they are:

February 27th – March 7th

September 11th – 26th

The focus during each of the homeschool days timeframes is a little different. The spring days place more of an emphasis on domestic life, apprenticeship and typical family life. The fall days focus on government, politics, and the Revolution.
