The Island School Summer Term

The Summer Term is a 6-week program of active study that includes investigations in Marine Ecology and Human Ecology, courses that will introduce you to marine research and environmental management practices. Similar to our Semester, summer courses have a strong field component to them. You’ll explore local ecosystems alongside scientists at our Cape Eleuthera Institute, as you focus your studies on ecology, research, and sustainable development.
During the Summer Term, you’ll be actively involved — physically and intellectually — in your learning experience. Working with educators, scientists, and engineers, you’ll immerse in fieldwork outside the traditional classroom where you’ll gain a firsthand understanding of our region’s ecosystems and environment.
You might survey mangrove creeks. You may learn about local plants and enjoy them at your next meal. You might study coral reef ecosystems while scuba diving in Marine Ecology class. Wherever your explorations take you, you’ll gain a greater understanding of, and admiration for, the world around you. And, you’ll leave inspired to make your home community more sustainable, too.
