    Homeschool Series

    REGISTRATION WILL OPEN September 16th at  9:00AM

    The Aquarium Homeschool Series is back!  

    Ages 6 - 11 years old

     Each Wednesday morning from October through April, we will take students on a journey through our coastal habitats, our aquarium, even geologic history as we learn about the world around us. Come join us for science experiments, hands-on exploration, and educational games that go far beyond your average science class!

    This series is most effective as a whole unit, so we encourage students to sign up for multiple sessions. However, each day is also designed to stand alone as a single lesson. When registering each student, please take note of both the date of the session and please add   age for each student.

    PINE KNOLL SHORES
