Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute

Home-school Classes

Calling all animal lovers in grades 2-5! This winter, FONZ will partner with Smithsonian Associates to offer home-school/after-school virtual adventures! Each five-week session will take students on an amazing learning journey that connects the animals of the Smithsonian's National Zoo to the other treasures of the Smithsonian through themes such as art, music and the natural sciences. 

Classes will be split into two grade-specific listings: one for children in grades 2 and 3, and one for children in grades 4 and 5. Students will access grade-specific content like STEM activities, movement games and challenges, and exclusive animal videos. Weekly live lessons will be broadcast from across the Smithsonian and feature grade-specific breakout sessions to build on weekly lessons

Educational Programs

FONZ creates multigenerational learning opportunities for individuals, students, families, and friend groups of all backgrounds and ages. In the spirit of inspiring future conservationists, FONZ offers a myriad of exciting classes and camps for students from preschool through adult, on everything from "Friendly Frogs and Terrific Turtles" to a class on Zoo nutrition. FONZ collaborates across the Smithsonian, the Zoo, SCBI, and the entire community to create educational events and festivals and facilitate field trip lessons at the Zoo and educational outreach experiences at SCBI. Please contact the FONZ Education Office at SCBI for booking information. See the many ways you, your family, and friends can learn about wildlife conservation.

Please contact the FONZ Education Department with any questions.
