Homeschool Classes at Nature on the Geaux in Slidell

I host different classes at my home in Slidell. Classes are 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 fall. 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 12 kids per class. If you have a large homeschool co-op group then please request a group program or you can request this class series brought to your location (price will be different because of using my vehicle).

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. You are more than welcome to help with the lessons too :)

Cost: $16 per class for the first child; $14 per class for each additional child; pay for all 8 up front and it’s $120 for the first child and $115 each additional child

Age: 6-12 (age range is a little flexible)

Time: 10:30 am - 12 pm

Advanced registration is required. We do not take walk-ups. Your confirmation email will have my address in it.

Registration for the Tuesday classes: Coming soon :)
