Tides is a three-hour drop-off Marine Biology experience for children grades 1st-8th. In the L.A. area, Tides offers two program locations: Malibu and Palos Verdes. Tides meets at a variety of gorgeous local beaches each week, chosen by our marine biology teachers. Nature journals in hand, students learn about marine creatures, marine plants, birds, tide pools, ecosystems, and sustainability, all in a hands-on, exploratory learning environment. Tides is led by our experienced and fun head teacher and assistant teacher, who love teaching children about the wonders of Marine Biology. These are small group classes of up to 14 students per group.
