Enrichment Explorers is a monthly program designed to spark curiosity and creativity in our daytime enrichment students. Each month features one of two exciting formats: a featured class led by one of our talented instructors and an immersive in-house field trip. It’s also a wonderful opportunity for our community to connect, build friendships, and share in the joy of hands-on learning and discovery!

Q: Can I count the hours my child is in classes at Field Workshop?
A: That depends! If your child's class has children from more than 1 family, then under Wisconsin Homeschool Law, you may not count those hours. Some of our classes run with only 1 child or family unit - in this case those hours CAN be counted towards your total hours.
Wisconsin Homeschool Law requires 875 hours of single family instruction per year. With over 5,800 waking hours in a single year, meeting this requirement can be easily met, even with regular group outings, field trips, and other multi-family experiences. Ultimately it is the responsibility of each Homeschool Administrator to determine how to best meet this requirement.
