Education Programs
Agriculture
Our working farm offers immersive, hands-on learning experiences rooted in sustainable agriculture. From observing grass-fed cattle and pasture-raised poultry to harvesting from our vegetable and flower production gardens, students discover where their food comes from and how thoughtful land management supports healthy ecosystems and communities.
Environment
Surrounded by woodlands, prairies, ponds, and open fields, students step into the natural world as active explorers. Through guided investigations and outdoor discovery, they learn to observe ecological relationships, understand conservation practices, and develop a lasting sense of responsibility for the land.
The Arts
Creativity comes to life through engaging experiences in visual, theatrical, and musical arts. Led by practicing artist educators, students explore the creative process, experiment with new forms of expression, and build confidence as they connect art, culture, and the natural world.
Equine
Our equine programs bring middle school math to life through real-world horse care and stable management. From measuring speed and calculating force to exploring ratios, equations, geometry, and the Pythagorean Theorem, students apply grade-level math concepts in meaningful, hands-on ways. Whether determining feed conversions, graphing data, designing spaces, or budgeting for care, learners build confidence and problem-solving skills while working alongside our horses.
Bus Funding
We never want the transportation cost of attending a field trip to prevent a group from attending a Greenacres field trip. For that reason, we offer a reimbursement program to qualifying organizations. Your group must meet the following criteria:
- Be one of the following 501(c)(3) types: Public, private, community, or charter school or a recognized child welfare organization.
- Your attending group is part of an economically disadvantaged population, such as a 80% free/reduced lunch programs or a Title I school designation.
- Children under the age of 18 with accompanying adults.

Homeschool Groups
Greenacres offers hands-on, inquiry-based programs tailored for homeschool groups across multiple locations. Whether you’re looking for nature exploration, agriculture-based learning, arts experiences, or equine opportunities, our educators provide meaningful programming for students ages 5–18. Programs are multi-age friendly, free, and available at all our campuses: Lewis Township, Michaela Farm, and Cincinnati. We also offer Family Days – programs available for single-family homeschoolers who want to participate without assembling a group.
