Learning beyond the classroom

Curriculum Connected Expeditions

Take learning beyond the classroom with hands-on marine biology and conservation in the Sea of Cortez.

LSF partners with schools to deliver safe, curriculum-connected expeditions where students explore the ocean, build confidence, and create lasting memories.

We are proud to work alongside teachers and administrators to design programs that meet educational goals while ensuring safety and accessibility. From pre-trip preparation to post-trip learning resources, our team supports schools every step of the way.

If you are a teacher or administrator interested in bringing your students, please contact us. We’ll gladly provide program details, pricing, and guidance to help make your expedition a reality.

Why LSF?

  • Programs are designed to complement high school science and environmental studies curricula, ensuring classroom learning is reinforced through real-world experiences. Our expeditions provide:

    • Curriculum alignment with core learning outcomes in biology, ecology, and environmental science.

    • Applied learning opportunities where students conduct field observations, collect data, and engage in conservation activities guided by professional marine biologists.

    • Pathways to higher education by exposing students to university-level research methods and career opportunities in science, sustainability, and conservation.

    This way, your students return not only with memories of adventure but also with a deeper understanding of their coursework and a clearer connection to future academic and career paths.

  • Students don’t just learn about the ocean — they become active participants in protecting it.

    • Immersive activities such as species monitoring, reef surveys, and habitat restoration.

    • Collaboration with experts including marine biologists and local conservation leaders.

    • Tangible impact as students contribute directly to ongoing scientific and conservation initiatives.

  • Student well-being is our top priority, with professional staff and robust safety measures in place.

    • Experienced instructors trained in first aid, lifeguarding, and youth supervision.

    • Proven protocols covering water safety, emergency response, and risk management.

    • Supportive environment that balances challenge with comfort to ensure all students thrive.

  • No two schools—or classrooms—are the same, and neither are our expeditions. At LSF, every student trip is designed in collaboration with teachers and administrators to match your educational goals, group needs, and curriculum requirements. Whether it’s emphasizing hands-on marine biology research, building leadership and teamwork, or balancing adventure with reflection, we’ll work together to create an itinerary that’s as unique as your students.
