The Zoological Society of Florida's Education Department has developed a curriculum that dovetails with the Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDPS) science curriculum. Student groups can take advantage of our education programs in a variety of ways. Options include overnight behind-the-scenes adventures, daily presentations in the Ecology Theater, and weekend programs. MDPS teachers can also reserve a free classroom presentation for their next school field trip to the Zoo; choose from among our standard programs or call the Education Department to develop a course that meets your group's specific needs. These are just a few of the innovative ways Zoo Miami brings science to life for your students.
