Our mission at New England Science & Sailing Foundation (NESS) is to empower students with a love of learning and advance academic opportunities through ocean-based experiential programs. We serve schools, teachers, and families on and off the water, in person and online.

The first and only program of its kind, NESS is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). NESS offers a STEM-based curriculum that builds leadership, teamwork, confidence, and problem-solving skills through marine science, sailing, power boating, and adventure sports.

NESS offers a unique accredited and standards-based education model that empowers students with skills to impact academic outcomes. Our STEM-based curriculum includes marine science, sailing, powerboating, and adventure sports as experiential learning platforms for all students on and off the water.

Experiential learning is an engaged learning process whereby students “learn by doing” and reflecting on the experience. All NESS lessons support positive social-emotional learning and academic outcomes; by its very nature, experiential learning lends itself to developing SEL skills. NESS’s highly committed team works to generate a love of learning and student agency that aids students in their classroom studies and lifelong learning.
