Blithewold Homeschool Days: Oct 27, 2026 - June 29, 2027

Join us on the last Tuesday of each month, from October through June, for fun (and educational) hands-on learning at Blithewold! Each month, we explore intriguing topics in the arts, history, horticulture, environmental science, and climate change. Indoor and outdoor learning experiences complete our curriculum, which aligns with RI, MA, and CT state standards. Check our website for more information on our monthly themes and activities. This drop-off program is designed for ages 8 - 13. Students check in at the Welcome Center. Please bring a refillable water bottle and dress for the weather, as we often take our lessons outside!
