Homeschool Capitol Day

Kansas homeschool families are invited to join us at the Capitol for the annual Homeschool Capitol Day on Thursday, Feb. 6, beginning at 10 a.m.

It is organized for the homeschooling families of Kansas by the Christian Home Education Coalition of Kansas (CHECK).

Highlights of your Capitol Day field trip can include:

• • • • • • • Helping to distribute sweet treats and homeschool fact sheets to legislators
            • Meeting personally with your own state legislators (make appointment prior)
            • Touring the Capitol and the Dome
            • Observing the legislature in action
            • Learning from legislators and others about how Kansas government works

Building a positive relationship with our state legislators will help keep homeschools thriving in Kansas. Meeting up for Homeschool Capitol Day provides the encouraging presence of other homeschool families as well as many firsthand educational experiences!

Other Capitol Day FAQs

• Should young children (ages 5 and under) come as well?

We welcome families with children of all ages to Capitol Day.  For the sake of safety and courtesy, parents must stay in close proximity to children at all times.

Families may choose activities to attend based on their children’s capabilities.

Visiting legislators and going on tours require extensive walking. Additionally, activities such as observing a legislative session require sitting quietly.
