School Programs

The Environmental Science Center's school programs combine classroom sessions with inquiry-based outdoor field experiences at locations like Seahurst Park and the Cedar River. Education in an outdoor setting encourages students to think critically and creatively, and effectively guides them in learning about the relationship between human actions and their impact on the natural world. Our school programs are based on curricula aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards, Ocean Literacy Framework, and Environmental Education Guidelines for Excellence.
