Homeschool Programs
​
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.
Throughout the school year, we will meet or exceed the Colorado state life science standards.
​
Students must meet the age requirements by October 1, 2025.
