School to Sea

School to Sea Inspires the Next Generation

SSCW is committed to guiding educators of all disciplines to increase confidence and engagement in their classrooms by mentoring youth in their learning. Content comes alive through place-based experiential learning. School to Sea programming supports standardized curriculum while deepening the students’ and educators’ connection and awareness of coastal and ocean ecosystems throughout their local watershed. 

The goal of all School to Sea programming is to inspire civic engagement and stewardship that will protect natural resources while promoting environmental justice and community resiliency. 

“I had honestly never thought about the river. I saw it plenty of times, but it just wasn’t a curiosity of mine. Now, I realize what I am doing to impact it and how it impacts my life.”

Discovery in the Classroom

Locally relevant content can be a springboard for beginning a science unit or as a unit summary. Relevant content can inspire stewardship activities year-round.

Field Experiences Outdoors

Students, teachers and volunteers stand in the Forest River Conservation Area in Salem, Massachusetts for a salt marsh field trip.

Join us for explorations outside the classroom. We bring the expertise and equipment to help students take a critical look at their watershed, coastal, and ocean environments.
