This program was the most incredible experience that my daughter has had academically and socially. The teachers, the Maine Coast, the Outward Bound meets challenging academics was by far life changing. Her view on the world has opened up and her appreciation for the world around her and the environment is beyond amazing. She became her most authentic self and I am so proud of her to have made the decision to apply, accept and meet the demands of this program. I would recommend this to anyone with a rising Junior.

The Chewonki Semester School was probably the most fulfilling experience of my academic career. The teachers and students are among the wisest and most thoughtful group of people I have ever encountered. Classes were all discussion based and incredibly stimulating.
GO. You won't regret it.
