Your child will dive deep into the ocean alongside remarkable creatures such as the graceful sea turtle, the mighty blue whale, and the incredibly strong barnacle. Our curriculum goes beyond traditional marine biology to incorporate a wide range of fascinating topics, including magnetism, adhesion, buoyancy, geography, culture, and global trade, all through the engaging lens of ocean exploration. This interdisciplinary approach ensures a well-rounded education that keeps kids excited and invested in their learning journey.

    What's Included

    Every activity in our Oceans and Seas Study is designed to be interactive and thought-provoking. Children are encouraged to ask questions, make observations, and draw conclusions based on their experiments. This hands-on approach not only makes learning more engaging but also helps children develop critical thinking skills and a deeper understanding of the scientific concepts at play.

    One of the highlights of our curriculum is its focus on putting kids in the driver’s seat of their own education. With projects like Pathfinder, children are given the freedom to explore topics that interest them, fostering a sense of ownership and enthusiasm for learning. By the end of the month, your child will have a profound appreciation for the ocean and its many wonders. Dive into The Open Ocean Study today and watch your child’s excitement and curiosity about the marine world dive to new depths.
