The Island School: The Bahamas - Summer Semester

This is a common sentiment heard around a table at the dining hall at The Island School, and it speaks to what Summer Term students experience.

The Island School Summer Term is a 30-day intensive program focused on questioning what it means to live well in a place. Through a rigorous course of study that includes field work in local ecosystems, explorations of local settlements and the socioeconomic impacts of development, and dynamic involvement in the systems and resources upon which we rely, Summer Term students grapple with how communities – whether on an island in The Bahamas or in a town in the states – can live most sustainably.
