With the current state of our education systems teetering between at-home virtual learning and in-person classroom education, OYA’s mission is to provide supporting ocean-science themed, educational materials to supplement the science curriculum already established at each school.
OYA works directly with schools and teachers to develop content that best fits the unique needs of each classroom. OYA’s marine science educational curriculum is created using cutting-edge virtual platforms. Our content includes specific NGSS and STEM standards built into each lesson in order to enhance student learning outcomes and maximize engagement. |
OYA provides virtual teacher training before the content is delivered. During this training, OYA’s team of expert educators explains how the content is structured and how teachers can make the best use of their included supplemental materials.
OYA also has a dedicated educational representative available throughout the content-delivery period to help teachers handle any technological issues, questions, or concerns. |
To help us assess our organization’s success at facilitating quality student experiences, OYA regularly solicits feedback from educators, parents, educational institutions, and students, particularly at the end of the course. We are always looking for ways to improve and expand our content to help all students achieve their highest learning potential.

"EVERYONE was talking about the Polar Explorers. I know someone who taught the curriculum, a student who participated in the program (hated zooming with her regular class but had her mom sign in to zoom with her summer class while on a bike ride) and a parent who said it was like “Goldilocks finding porridge…this one was juuuuust right!” - Anonymous
