365 SMART (Science, Math, Art, Recreation, and Technology) Academy
UAF Summer Sessions & Lifelong Learning created the 365 SMART Academy, which provides virtual and in-person enrichment courses for K-12 students to supplement their academic curriculum.
Virtual courses consist of YouTube videos, weekly Zoom class meetings, and course kits with materials to provide hands-on activities at home. In-person courses will take place either on UAF Campus or at one of our local (Fairbanks) homeschool partner locations.
Spring semester 2023 has 33 different exciting courses over two 6-week sessions that begin in January and in March. Check out the extensive variety of learning opportunities! Homeschooled families can follow up with your homeschool to see how to build your selection into your child's learning plan.
