Beginning in 2023, the science department at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School launched a new signature program for students, parents, and everyone in the greater Jackson community to engage in the sciences in fun and exciting ways. Events within the science adventure series provide unique educational opportunities that promote scientific literacy and engagement across multiple fields throughout the year. Programs range from family-friendly events like our SA Spooktacular to children-only events like our Nights at McRae, and all ultimately are built on the idea to get everyone excited about science. Learn more about these events below.
“It’s easy to forget that science is all around us, and our hope with this program is to remind everyone that there is always something fun to learn.”
Upcoming Events
SA Spooktacular
October 25th and 26th, 5:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Wear your favorite Halloween costumes and join the St. Andrew’s science department who will transform the McRae Science Center on the North Campus in Ridgeland into a family-friendly haunted house where children and families meander through and learn about various Halloween-themed connections to help break the fear surrounding Halloween. Your guided tour through this haunted house will have 6 stops and take roughly 45 minutes to travel through. Once you exit, you’ll enter into our exciting Halloween carnival with a series of games for kids to enjoy. Food will also be available for purchase.
Cost for admission is $10 per child, with adults and children under 3 being free.
Reserve your spot through the carnival by purchasing your tickets early!
