Animal Academy

Animal Academy utilizes Animal Welfare Association's state-of-the-art Adoption Center and Clinic to teach about various Animal Science topics ranging from safe animal handling to careers in the industry. Classes are monthly with the option to book private classes for groups of 10+.

The Animal Academy program is a chance for homeschoolers ages 8-17 to engage in experiences unlike any found in a traditional school environment or home classroom.

Each 90-minute session is taught by trained instructors from Animal Welfare Association’s Education department. They include hands-on lessons where students will be given the tools, materials and detailed instruction to learn about unique areas of animal sciences, welfare, conservation and more.

The curriculum includes lessons on:
Veterinary medicine
Animal shelters
Animal handling
ecosystems, food chains and symbiotic relationships
Careers working with animals
and much more!

Activities will be STEAM-focused and designed to fit into any homeschool curriculum. Our holistic approach to education sees students work both independently and in group environments, with a focus on promoting active engagement in their learning to deepen their understanding of subject matter.
