FREEPORT — Coastal Studies for Girls will hold an open house Sunday from noon to 3 p.m. at the Coastal Studies for Girls campus at 308 Wolfe’s Neck Road in Freeport. Tours of the school, led by the admissions team, will run every 20 minutes.

In addition, students from the current semester will be available to answer visitors’ questions and explain their science and leadership coursework. The event is open to educators, families, neighbors and friends who are interested in learning more about the school.

Coastal Studies for Girls is a member of the Semester School Network and provides rigorous academics with an experiential focus and is the only semester school dedicated to marine science and leadership education for 10th grade girls, located on a 600- acre oceanfront land preserve.

Each semester, 20 students come from a variety of schools across the country to live for one semester during sophomore year in a renovated antique farmhouse on the shores of Casco Bay. In addition to Leadership and Marine Ecosystems, students study an interdisciplinary place-based curriculum of academic high school courses.

CSG’s Marine Ecosystems class is an immersion in scientific fieldwork culminating in a public presentation of individual research projects.

Coastal Studies for Girls is now accepting applications from 9th grade girls for the 2016-2017 school year.
