Schools

Our goal is to integrate your classroom curricula with our educational programs. These programs offer opportunities for students to investigate the ecology of diverse habitats and learn about the adaptations of the plants and animals that live there. We design our programs to support the Massachusetts Department of Education Life and Earth Science, Technology and Engineering, History, and/or Geography frameworks. Whether the program takes place at your site or ours, we offer curriculum consultation before and after every visit to ensure our programs meet your learning expectations.
