Virtual Classroom Programs

Learn about the wonders of nature with Audubon Nature Institute’s Classroom Programs!

Currently, all Classroom Programs are offered virtually over Zoom. Audubon Nature Institute values the accessibility virtual programs offer and we look forward to offering on-site opportunities in the future.

Ideal for classrooms, homeschoolers, and other small group settings, each 45-minute program includes interaction with Audubon educators and unique experiences with ambassador animals that live at Audubon Zoo. These programs feature science topics aligned with Louisiana State Science Standards and are specifically designed for K-12 classrooms.

Programs are available on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Please book at least three weeks in advance as availability is limited and reservations are made on a first come, first serve basis.

Questions? Contact the Education Department at schoolprograms@auduboninstitute.org or (504) 212-5378.

*Please note – we are unable to deliver assembly style programs at this time.

Testimonials

"My students absolutely LOVED the program. It was so nice to have something to break up the monotony of our usual online learning format. They were highly engaged throughout the presentation and many of them emailed me afterward to thank me for scheduling it and to ask to do more things like this. They learned a lot about the animals and many talked to me about how it connects to their career goals.”
-Teacher, Kipp Frederick A. Douglass High School
