Shows
Children and their teachers have been participating in Vancouver Aquarium school programs since 1956. Through our hands-on programs, Aquarium educators touch the lives of thousands of visitors, students and teachers every year and are turning education into action for change.
All of our programs are developed to support the Prescribed Learning Outcomes of the BC Ministry of Education’s Integrated Resource Packages. Staff-facilitated school programs are 1-2 hours in length and are held both in our galleries and our behind-the-scenes classrooms, including our renowned Wet Lab learning facility.
