After-School Program

Every year, the After-School Program offers courses to high school students interested in the sciences. There are courses in anthropology, astrophysics, earth science, genetics, biodiversity and more. Each course makes use of the Museums resources through hall visits, lab and collections tours, talks and lectures by scientists and hands-on activities.

The After-School Program offers 5 sessions throughout the school year. Each session is 6 weeks long. Courses meet once or twice a week from 4:30 - 6:30 PM. Students may attend one course per session.

The fee for an after-school course is $150 for a once-weekly course and $300 for a twice-weekly course. There are half price and full price discounts available, based on annual income and family need. We have a very generous policy of granting fee waivers and half-price discounts based on need.
