AquaSchool combines the best practices in teaching and learning environments so that students become better observers, creative critical thinkers, and environmental ambassadors.

AquaSchool welcomes teachers to apply to bring their class for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to come to the Vancouver Aquarium "classroom" every day for an entire week.

Work closely with Ocean Wise's passionate education coordinators, volunteers, and staff to develop a unique week of programming - with the Vancouver Aquarium as your classroom!

Students will have experience unique opportunities such as exploring our galleries and connecting with animals before opening hours, handling live animals in our specially designed wet lab classrooms, meeting some of Ocean Wise’s expert staff, and more. These experiences create endless opportunity for student self-discovery and those special ‘a-ha’ moments that spark a life long curiosity and respect for our oceans.
