A Collaborative Approach to Learning

At Maine Coast Semester, we encourage students to take charge of their education. We cultivate both individual and collaborative approaches to learning. And we believe in the power of students and teachers living and learning together in a dynamic small community.

An Eye Toward the Larger Community

During their semester, students engage deeply with the world around them through their studies, meaningful work, and outdoor experiences. They spend at least four hours a week doing field work along the Maine coast for science class. In Art and the Natural World and in Environmental Issues classes, they make use of Chewonki’s saltwater peninsula and sites throughout Maine. Their math problems may include modeling tidal changes in our own Montsweag Bay. In English, they explore how words can capture the relationship between people, nature, and place–a relationship they’re forging right here. Real-world, hands-on experiences complement the traditional components of every class.
