Welcome to Lunch & Learn Academy!
Real Experiences.
Real Learning.
Lunch & Learn Academy brings expert-led virtual field trips directly to homeschool families.
Learn together, ask real questions, and connect with trusted educators, accredited institutions, and experienced professionals through live, interactive group experiences
— all without leaving home.
We Learn from the Source
We learn from award-winning authors, world-class science institutions, zoologists working behind the scenes at zoos, and many other experts — connecting learners directly with the people shaping their fields.
Lunch & Learn Academy was created to bring the magic of in-person field trips into a virtual format — without losing interaction, curiosity, or connection.
Each session is hosted live and led by educators, organizations, and professionals who invite learners to ask questions, think critically, and engage deeply with the topic.
We prioritize:
- Learning from experts
- Instruction grounded in real-world practice and first-hand experience
- Accessible, high-quality learning for homeschool families

Learning That is an Experience
Each
Lunch & Learn Academy session is designed as a guided learning experience — not passive content to consume. Sessions are structured to place learners inside the topic, whether that means observing processes as they happen, examining environments up close, or following work as it unfolds.
From animal encounters to museum collections, labs, and cultural spaces, learners take part in thoughtful, real-time exploration supported by conversation and reflection.
