There are many ways Audubon can enhance your student's learning experience while helping you meet the Rhode Island Grade Span Expectations as well as other state science standards.

Audubon's philosophy of education is built upon a hands-on, inquiry-based approach that engages students in the learning process. Audubon programs are designed to bring a variety of environmental-based learning experiences to students ages pre-K to adult. We cover a wide range of topics, from field to shore and everything in between.
