Homeschool Days at Oak Hill
The Heritage Alliance offers Homeschool Days at Oak Hill School for Fall 2024
Jonesborough, Tennessee: The Heritage Alliance is excited to offer two homeschool days this Fall at the historic Oak Hill School. The award winning Oak Hill School Heritage Education program is the only experiential learning program of its type in this region, and homeschool students are encouraged to come and experience history with the Heritage Alliance in Tennessee’s Oldest Town. The dates for this experience are September 23rd and October 24th.
Oak Hill School was built in 1886 to serve the community of Knob Creek. The building served local residents until it was closed in the 1950s. The school building was moved the seven miles from Knob Creek to Jonesborough and placed in its current location behind the Visitors Center. Today, Oak Hill School invites students to come for a day-long experience and enroll in school in 1892. Reading, writing, arithmetic, history, geography – even the pledge of allegiance – are all as they were prior to the turn of the last century.
School will last from 9:00am – 2:00pm on September 23rd and October 24th. This program is limited to 26 students, grades 1st – 4th in September, and grades 5th – 8th in October so sign up now!

We cannot accept registration the day of the event. This event has a minimum registration of 12 students in order for it to take place.
