Slavery is a terrible part of American history, and one that can be difficult to teach. In this adult education class, we'll cover the reality of slavery in London Town and Colonial Maryland and explore how best to teach it to your kids - honestly, respectfully, and age-appropriately.

 

This class will take place while the children are also learning about slavery at London Town so you can carry on the conversation and be prepared for any questions they might have following the program.

Homeschool Series Policies

Our homeschool programs are only for students ages 6-12. Older and younger siblings may not accompany the program, however they, along with their parents/caregivers, will be welcome to explore the property during the session at no extra charge. We will request a few parents accompany their children through the program, so if you would like to chaperone, you are welcome to do so (again, unfortunately we can only offer this opportunity to solo adults).  
 
We will be dividing the students into similarly aged groups. Group swapping will not be possible on the day of the program. We understand that children like to be with their friends and we will do our best to fulfill requests made more than 4 business days in advance of the program. 
 
Programs include both indoor and outdoor elements, and will proceed rain or shine, so dress for the weather!  

Refunds can be provided until one week prior to the program.

We want everyone, homeschooling families and other visitors, to enjoy our site! As you explore around before or after the program, please remember that this site is enjoyed by many people and visually supervise your children at all times.
