Homeschool Classes at Nature on the Geaux in Slidell
I host different classes at my home in Slidell. Classes are an 90 minutes long and cover a variety of live animal and natural science subjects. These classes will be offered on the dates below for the winter/spring. Prices can be kept low if I’m not renting a space or travelling to a location so that is why I decided to open my home for this. These are not meant for groups, I only take 10 kids per class. If you have a large homeschool co-op group then please request a group program.
If these dates fill up, I will offer the same classes on a different day.
Caregivers are welcome to stay or drop off but if you do stay please keep voice levels down to not distract the kids.
Cost: $100 per learner for the full class series or $14 per class
