Pre-K - 12

Gwinnett’s natural resources; and presenting the interaction and interrelationships of lifestyles and cultures, past, present, and future, as they relate to the living world around us.

Visiting teachers can choose a two-hour Quest, a two-hour Exploratory Field Study, or both! Grade-specific curriculum comes alive with hikes, outdoor classrooms, a state-of-the-art laboratory, and a unique historic property.

For exciting STEAM, grade-specific curriculum brought to the classroom, teachers can choose from a wide variety of Outreach programs.

All K-12 programs are aligned with the Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE) and the Gwinnett County Academic Knowledge and Skills Curriculum (AKS).
