Homeschool Programs
Fall 2024 & Spring 2025
Homeschool Programs
(Ages 4 - 13 as of October 1, 2024)
​
Our homeschool programs provide a rich and thorough life science education. Through hands-on encounters with our live animals, digital media (primarily maps, data charts, photographs, and short video clips), art projects, literature, games, science labs, outdoor exploration, and more, we learn biology in a fun, engaging, and meaningful way.
Next year, we are excited to continue exploring our planet’s incredible biodiversity with all new lessons. What is biodiversity? Why is it important? How do we protect it?
Throughout the school year, we will meet or exceed the Colorado state life science standards.
​
Students must meet the age requirements by October 1, 2024.
