Living Classroom Program

     Sponsored by the Zoological Society of Washington this Program is administrated by the Cougar Mountain Zoo Education Department for schools Pre K through 12 and all other Youth Oriented Entities. The objective of this unique education program is to encourage and enable the participation of Students in grades Pre K through 12 in a Living Classroom on a continuous and routine manner.

     This unique 'Living Classroom' Program is one of the many ways by which the Zoo implements its mission to serve the surrounding communities through Educational Programs in a Living Classroom.
