What will you discover? That science means getting your hands muddy and your feet wet; that biodiversity abounds among the rockweed and spiral wrack of the same intertidal where Rachel Carson sparked environmental activism; that 20 girls from diverse backgrounds will support and inspire each other as they expand new boundaries of knowledge; that authentic observation leads not only to scientific research, but to understanding historical assumptions and personal perspectives; that leadership is cultivated and celebrated, in classrooms and in conversations, along wilderness trails and during research presentations. At Coastal Studies for Girls, 10th grade girls discover that joyful learning and life-long friendships happen in a little yellow farmhouse in Freeport, Maine.
