Celebrate the freedom to homeschool with families from across the state.

Homeschoolers across the state of Arizona gather to meet and thank our legislators for the work that they do for our communities throughout the year. Through the years, this biennial event has led to countless coalitions being built with members of our government that share our vision and has softened many who had been previously opposed to our style of education. Homeschool Day at the Capitol has developed into a half day of learning and activities, while still achieving our goals of exposure to and gratitude for our public servants. 
9am-10am in the Historic Senate Chambers of the Capitol Museum
Pre-Registration is required and seating is limited
This workshop is for high school students only and seating is limited. Students will examine the history of the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution, and engage with the philosophical principles underpinning these fundamental rights designed to protect individual freedoms. And more! Please click the link below for more information and to register your high school student. This workshop will be led by Tyler Bonin, the Civics Education Specialist at the Goldwater Institute's Van Sittert Center for Constitutional Advocacy. Pre-Registration is required. Families are welcome to enjoy self-tours of the museum during this time. There is no cost for this workshop.

New this year! Volunteer to bake goodies for legislators!
