Total Solar Eclipse at Taylor
On Monday, April 8, 2024, the path of a total solar eclipse will move across the United States from Texas to Maine, right over Taylor University. Being in the “path of totality” is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, with the next total eclipse over our area occurring in 2099.
That’s why we are inviting hundreds of 6th–12th grade students, homeschool families, Taylor alumni, and the extended Taylor family to come to campus that day. The eclipse itself will occur at 3:08 pm, and learning events will take place from 12:00 to 3:15 pm. You won’t want to miss this incredible opportunity!

6th-12th Grade Students
Taylor faculty and student leaders are planning an incredible day of learning activities for 6th–12th graders. Together, we’ll conduct experiments, learn from scientists, and observe the phenomena that happen in a total eclipse. Homeschool families are also welcome!
Traditional Schools

Taylor is looking forward to hosting over 1000 registered students from 6-12th grade on the day of the Eclipse! Unfortunately, we are currently at capacity. Please contact Jodie Anderson jodie_anderson@taylor.edu to be added to the waitlist.
