Seaquaria in Schools' photostream

“Seaquaria in Schools” is a non-profit program whose goal is to stimulate integrated marine and ecosystem education in our schools and communities. Age specific programs are developed through partnerships and collaboration. They target students of all ages, address many learning styles, extend learning to the real world and provide increased leadership opportunities. A variety of programs specific to elementary, middle and secondary schools have been developed.


The Seaquaria in Schools program places aquaria in schools and brings captivating, ever-changing marine ecosystems into the students' everyday lives. These help focus, deliver and integrate a variety of cross-curricular and outreach materials. As students care for their ecosystems and participate in hands-on activities, they build an understanding and respect for the organisms and develop integrated stewardship skills. In the process, the aquaria are very effective in fostering a passion for learning and critical thinking in many other areas of endeavour.
