Every activity in our Serengeti Study is designed to be immersive and hands-on, inviting children to dive into the dynamic rhythms of this unique ecosystem. Through engaging lessons, they will ask thoughtful questions, make discoveries, and explore how the Serengeti works firsthand. This interactive approach brings learning to life, fostering critical thinking skills and sparking a lasting connection to the natural world.

A key feature of this curriculum is the flexibility to follow two distinct learning tracks—Bookwork or Interactive—allowing children to engage with the content in ways that suit their learning style. With creative projects like testing their speed against a cheetah, building tents to test waterproof materials, or experimenting with how fire impacts ecosystems, students take charge of their learning, developing both curiosity and confidence as they go.

Join us on an adventure through the Serengeti, where your child will explore the Great Migration, predator-prey dynamics, and how water availability shapes life. By the end of the month, they’ll gain not only knowledge about this incredible landscape but also a deeper appreciation for the science and stories woven into it.
