Testimonials
My daughters did a session and I think it’s fair to say it was their favourite lesson by far! This is what homeschooling is all about! Engaging, interactive, fun learning. They absolutely LOVED it.
The program was wonderful! We have an active group of 1st graders this year and they were very engaged! Thank you so much!
The WiseOceans’ presentation held the interest of all the children in my P2/3/4 class. The style is informative, interactive, and fun. Weeks have gone by and the children still ask when WiseOceans will be coming back for a visit.
We really enjoyed your visit. All the children were enthusiastic about it and the teachers said how lovely it was to have an expert to answer the children’s questions. It was a great day and great value for money
