Curriculum for co-ops, microschools, or home use
Art of Botany
Two full classes in one, Art of Botany combines scientific study, experiments, and ecological understanding with step-by-step botanical illustration instruction. Learn to draw while exploring the world of plants. Right and left brain learners alike will love this year-long high school-level course.
Art of Botany marries the scientific exploration of a high school-level botany course with a complete botanical drawing class. However, what students really walk away with is a commitment to being cooperative, contributing, mutualistic members of our environment and communities.
Other curriculum available or coming soon include Art by the Masters, Argument Architects (Logic and Debate), and For the Love of Numbers: A Geometric Journey
About me

I'm Juliet Bellinger, and I have been teaching for over 21 years. I have a BA in Spanish from the University of California, Santa Barbara where I was a Pre-Med student. I also have a minor in Physical Fitness. Over the years, I was the art director at the Goleta Boys and Girls Club for three years, a tutor through the America Reads program, and co-founded the private school, Millennial Heritage Academy. In recent years, I've started writing my own curriculum, including Art by the Masters, Art of Botany and For the Love of Numbers: A Geometric Journey. Currently, I am a certified Leadership Education Mentoring Institute (LEMI) mentor in Shakespeare Conquest, Pyramid Project and the Liber Community Series. In 2013, I started coaching First LEGO League teams and teaching LEGO-based science classes. I'm a certified health coach with a specialty in Youth Fitness. These days, I pour my passion for inspiring students into my science, math, Spanish, art, LEGO®, and robotics classes. The adventure never stops on the Building STEAM Express!
