Home School Programs
Mark your 2007–2008 calendars for another exciting year of Homeschool Monday programs at Riverbanks Zoo and Garden. Each month we offer a set of classes that will focus on a particular topic and include hands-on activities and live animal encounters. Classes are repeated throughout the month and topics change monthly. Students should attend class once a month.

Homeschool children ages 5–12 with an accompanying adult. (There is no minimum or maximum number of students that can attend.) |
|
Programs are offered most Mondays of each month, September through May, at 9:30am for the 5–8 year old program and at 11:00am for the 9–12 year old program. The dates are listed below. The programs last between 45 minutes to an hour. |
|
The cost is $7 per student (1 accompanying adult per student admitted free into the Zoo). This rate applies ONLY to those taking part in the program. Regular Zoo admission rates apply to those not participating. |
|
Simply pay the $7 program fee at any admissions gate and proceed to the Education Center 10 minutes prior to the class time. The program teacher will meet your students in front of the Education Center. (Pre-registration is not required.)
