About Program
INGENUITY YEAR
Ingenuity Year is an undertaking of Forman School. We aim to take learning out of the classroom and into the real world so that we might equip the next generation of students with the skills to engage in the most pressing issues of our time. We believe all students learn differently, and that all students should embrace their own style of learning.
CLIMATE CHANGE IN COASTAL MAINE
Climate change is the biggest threat to our shared future. In this gap semester program we engage with this global phenomenon through direct, hands-on experience in Coastal Maine. The Gulf of Maine is warming faster than 99% of the ocean - so many changes are happening much more quickly here. Explore the lobstering, fishing, and agriculture industries and see how policy and governance are playing into existing and upcoming legislation. Conduct climate research that contributes to our partners' ongoing projects. Equip yourself with the skills needed to succeed in college and beyond.
