Sanibel Sea School Offers Homeschool Programs
Looking for interactive classes to add to your homeschool curriculum this year? Join Sanibel Sea School for an immersive program that brings marine science to life for homeschoolers!
The Homeschool at Sea program offers an experiential, hands-on approach to learning about Southwest Florida’s coastal ecosystems. Homeschool sessions include a mix of classroom activities, field excursions, experiments, and art projects. Depending on the topic, we’ll adventure to Gulf beaches, mangrove forests, or SCCF’s preserves on Sanibel.

“We love working with the homeschool community here in Southwest Florida—it gives our educators the freedom to be creative, tailor lessons to curious minds, and explore the many ways children learn,” says Sanibel Sea School Director Shannon Rivard. “Homeschool at Sea is more than a program; it’s a chance to connect with families who value unique, hands-on experiences and a diversity of education styles.”
These courses are offered seasonally from September to November on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays for students aged 6 to 17. Courses are divided by age group (6 to 10, 10 to 13, and 13 to 17). We are flexible on age restrictions given the inclusive nature of homeschooling. Please give us a call at 239-472-8585 to discuss!
