This unusual and unprecedented school year can feel overwhelming for many families. We’re here to help! Let us support and enhance your child’s weekly learning at the Museum of Life and Science.

We’ve designed the Museum Clubhouse for K-8th grade students enrolled in a remote learning program through their school. Our educators will provide in-person support with schoolwork, outdoor explorations, and grade-appropriate science activities. Join us for two, three, or five days a week. Classes will be limited to 10 students or fewer, with the same students and educators together for the entire session.

We will make every effort to provide a safe experience for everyone, including small groups, physical spacing, and rigorous cleaning practices. And as one of the top Museums in North Carolina, we promise a fun and engaging day as well, with science, animals, and nature experiences.
