Inspiring Learning Experience Is The Teacher

The Institute includes state-of-the-art teaching labs, the spectacular Maddie James Seaside Learning Center, a historic tall ship, and an oceanographic research vessel. Immersion-based field trips range from one-hour science labs to overnight programs. All programs are designed to maximize immersion, spark curiosity, and inspire a deep commitment to learning.

As the cornerstone of our mission, education brings discovery and learning to each student.
