Bay Studies:
The Gunston School’s Bay Studies program has entered its third decade with renewed focus and vision. A weeklong program of off-campus seminars based on developing a meaningful understanding of the role the Bay plays in shaping our history, culture, industry, and future. All Gunston students must participate in Bay Studies each year they are enrolled at Gunston.
The new progressive curriculum builds on students’ experiences and utilizes the Bay as a case study for understanding global environmental challenges. Bay Studies continues to provide transformational experiences and cultivate a sense of place for all Gunston students. Global and environmental aspects of Gunston’s mission blend during trips beyond the Chesapeake Bay watershed where students study analogous systems and share their knowledge. The evolving curriculum offers exciting potential for increasing local and global partnerships that strengthen environmental teaching and learning here at Gunston. New program areas include expanding STEM opportunities, assisting in professional research with leading institutions, and new expeditions.
