Animalearn's Mission
At Animalearn, we work to foster an awareness of and a respect for animals used in education. We strive to eliminate the use of animals in
education and we are dedicated to assisting educators and students to find the most effective non-animal methods to teach and study science.
Animalearn has created The Science Bank, our lending program of new and innovative life science software and educational products that enable
educators and students to learn anatomy, physiology, and psychology lessons without harming animals, themselves, or the Earth. Our loan program
has been offering products to thousands of people for over a decade, and it is continually growing and expanding. Animalearn also provides
humane education curricula and materials free of charge for educators and students.
Animalearn's Programs
Animalearn provides a whole host of resources for educators and students at no cost. Our programs are suitable for a variety of educational levels,
including K-12, college/university, and veterinary/medical. We offer humane education curricula and educational kits that cover issues ranging
from dissection to product testing. Educators and students can also choose from a large variety of books, brochures, videos, and more, many of which are
available for free. Additionally, our Science Bank is home to the latest in high-tech, animal-friendly educational technology for the classroom.
Animalearn conducts free workshops for educators on how to implement our various programs and products in the classrooms, and we also deliver presentations
to students and student organizations who are hoping to use or promote non-animal alternatives in their education. Additionally, Animalearn frequently
delivers presentations to classrooms, which serve to foster an awareness of and a respect for animals and others.
Animalearn representatives will work individually with educators or students interested in adopting non-animal alternatives in their classroom.
We will also assist students who are interested in creating student choice policies at their schools.
