, with your contact information and indicate your class schedule preference. Sea School is the nation's first and only licensed preschool in an aquarium! Our unique and hands on curriculum aims to instill a love of learning that each Sea Schooler will carry with them long after their preschool years. Your child will be introduced to all areas of development, with activities that aim to focus on math, language and literacy, science and cognitive development.
The program serves as a first taste of what school will be like, but is also a great enrichment program for youngsters already enrolled in a preschool. What better place to have children explore their natural curiosity than at an aquarium where live ocean creatures are living all around them?
Children will be offered a unique opportunity to get to know various ocean animals, the people who work with them, as well as learn about the science that goes into exploring the sea.
Each class will have children using their imagination, interacting with peers, and participating in projects designed to develop a variety of skills.
Parental input regarding the strengths and needs of their child will be an important element in designing a tailored learning experience for each child.
Sea School takes place in a bright, stimulating classroom especially designed for preschool aged children. The classroom includes a bathroom built for young children.
Children have access to the Aquarium's new Sea School Green, an outdoor learning space especially designed for preschool aged learners. From gardening and composting to examining insects, Sea Schoolers can continue experiencing our "learn by doing" philosophy in the great outdoors.
Parents receive access to a private Sea School blog where you can read about what the Sea Schoolers are working on in class. It's a wonderful way to help reinforce topics at home.
The three hour Sea School option includes all the amazing features of our two hour option plus:
A healthy snack catered by Mystic Aquarium's award winning Ocean Blue Catering.
Additional time for activities, lessons, and free time in the Sea School Green, our eco-friendly outdoor learning space.
One on one time with teachers throughout the year, allowing teachers to create an individual assessment folder for each child. A great tool to track progress on both social and cognitive school readiness skills.
