Abstract:

Newfound School’s curriculum, resulting in a majority of its graduates attending schools such as Yale and Oberlin, was partly inspired by the decade it existed. While complying with the state’s educational standards, the school founded in 1971 added real-world experience in novel ways. Included were courses such as oceanography; town hall-style to discuss current events; students exploring the city during free periods.

Abstract:

The mysteries about the earth’s crust, Dr. Jesse McNinch believed could be solved by studying the landscape beneath the water’s surface. From that determination, a government research project was founded. The United States Army Corp studied natural phenomenon such as coastal erosions patterns and shifting shorelines, emerging in the movement of wind, waves, tides, and currents, through equipment such as CLARIS (Coastal Lidar and Radar Imaging System).
