Join us for a Day on the Pier with our exceptional educators. The location is near the corner of 12th Street and Sinatra Drive North with which is currently known as Education Pier 12. We employ our education community to bring your students to our Pier and we can customize a curriculum that integrates with their curriculum.
Class sizes can vary where we would like to engage entire classes of up to 26 students. The price per student depends on the curriculum desired.
