Invite Sea Smart into your classroom!
Ocean heroes start in the classroom!
At Sea Smart, we offer a variety of engaging school programs designed to inspire and educate students about the wonders of the ocean. Developed by our expert marine biologist and experienced environmental educators, our ocean school workshops give students the chance to dive into marine ecosystems, explore ocean conservation, and gain a deeper understanding of environmental challenges.
Our school programs are tailored for all age groups, from elementary to high school, and are fully aligned with the BC curriculum. Through hands-on activities, interactive presentations, and real-world learning experiences, we bring the ocean into the classroom, making learning both fun and impactful.
Students will explore essential topics such as marine biodiversity, plastic pollution, and sustainability, while discovering the crucial role the ocean plays in maintaining the health of our planet. These experiences not only expand their knowledge but also inspire students to take meaningful action to protect the environment.
By participating in our ocean school workshops, students develop critical thinking skills, gain hands-on experience, and cultivate a sense of responsibility toward ocean conservation. These programs are designed to nurture the next generation of ocean stewards.
Bring the ocean to your classroom—book one of our school programs today and help inspire the future of ocean conservation!
