A big city with a lot of weekday room.
Phoenix is one of the easiest metros in the country to homeschool in. Museums, gardens, preserves, and studios are quiet on weekday mornings, and many of them run homeschool days or weekday group rates. These are the kinds of places families on Assembly meet.
Museums and science
- Arizona Science Center, downtown Phoenix
- Children's Museum of Phoenix
- Heard Museum
- Musical Instrument Museum, north Phoenix
- Arizona Museum of Natural History and the i.d.e.a. Museum, Mesa
Outdoors and nature
- Desert Botanical Garden, Papago Park
- Phoenix Zoo
- McDowell Sonoran Preserve trailheads, Scottsdale
- South Mountain Park and the Phoenix Mountains Preserve
- Dark Sky Discovery Center, Fountain Hills
Park days and meetups
Most Phoenix homeschool groups anchor the week with a standing park day. Shaded ramadas and splash pads make Kiwanis Park in Tempe, Riverview in Mesa, Freestone in Gilbert, and the Scottsdale greenbelt parks the usual picks. A host makes the event once and reuses it each week.
Classes and co-ops
Art studios, gyms, music teachers, and nature programs across the Valley run weekday sessions for homeschoolers, and parent-led co-ops meet in church halls and community rooms. If you're thinking about starting one, read how to start a homeschool co-op.
Seasons
October through April is outdoor season: hikes, farms, park days, field days. May through September moves indoors to museums, pools, libraries, and early-morning meetups. Hosts on Assembly can set the schedule and the reminders so nobody shows up to a 105° park.
