School Calendar and Classroom Time Peter Sniffen One semester, 15 1/2 weeks in length, either fall or spring. All academic classes meet the Acting Head of Semester School equivalent of 4 hours per week except science, which meets for approximately 8-10 hours per week, depending on the length of certain field trips. Classes meet in 55- minute blocks. Academic classes are held Monday through Friday. Grading Chewonki uses letter grades with the following equivalencies: A (94, 95, 96), A- (90, 91, 92, 93), B+ (87, 88, 89), etc. F = 59 (Failing) Curriculum Students take five courses during their semester, in addition to completing a Human Ecology Project, a weeklong independent research project. Required Courses: Science: Natural History of the Maine Coast English: Literature and the Land or Ethics: Understanding and Choice Work Program & Outdoor Athletic Program (physical education/practical arts) Elective Courses: U.S. History (honors level only) Mathematics (Algebra II, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and AB or BC Calculus) French language (levels III-V & A.P. equivalent offered) Spanish language (levels III-V & A.P. equivalent offered) Art and the Natural World Environmental Issues Tutorial in Latin, Ancient Greek, German, Russian or Mandarin Chinese (level III or higher) Courses are taught at advanced levels of instruction. Most students take honors-level courses at their sending schools; those students are adequately challenged and prepared to return to those courses.

We have chosen not to offer Advanced Placement courses; however, many students match our courses with AP courses at their sending schools. Standardized Testing PSATs are administered in the fall to all students. In the spring, students may take the ACT. Generally, the SAT I and SAT II Subject Tests are taken at home in June. Prep courses for standardized tests are not offered at MCS. Advanced Placement examinations are administered in May for students who choose, and are prepared, to take them in U.S. History, Calculus AB & BC, French Language, Spanish Language or Literature, English Language or Literature, and Environmental Science. Students are strongly encouraged to consult with a college counselor at their sending school before they arrive at Maine Coast Semester to discuss the AP exams they plan to take. They will also have the opportunity to meet with their assigned Maine Coast Semester advisor before registering for exams in March. Financial Aid Financial aid is available based on need. For the 2016-2017 academic year, approximately 40 percent of the student body was awarded financial aid; some of these students also received aid from their sending schools while attending Maine Coast Semester.

    Whitfield School 175 S. Mason Road Saint Louis, Missouri 63141 (314) 434-5141 www.whitfieldschool.org May 26, 2021 Dear Whitfield School Community: On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I am pleased to announce that Chris Cunningham has accepted our invitation to serve as the next Head of Whitfield School, effective July 1, 2022. As you know, John Delautre will be retiring at the end of the 2021-2022 academic year after 10 years of outstanding service to our School, and we will enjoy his leadership for the next fourteen months, thus ensuring a smooth transition. Beginning in January 2021, the Search Committee, chaired by Karen Myers, worked with search consultants Nat Conard and Deirdre Ling of Educators’ Collaborative, and reviewed the credentials of candidates from throughout the U.S. and abroad. The Committee narrowed the pool of candidates to eight individuals who were invited for a confidential round of virtual interviews. Subsequently, four finalists and spouses/partners visited the campus for comprehensive two-day interviews. On May 20, the Search Committee selected Chris Cunningham as its nominee to the Board of Trustees to serve as the next Head of School. The Trustees unanimously ratified this recommendation at a Board meeting on May 25. Chris has spent the past twenty-five years in independent school education. Receiving a bachelor’s degree in Modern Thought and Literature from Stanford University in 1989, he graduated Phi Beta Kappa with Distinction and Honors. He went on to complete a Ph.D. in English from Duke University in 1996. Beginning his independent school teaching career as a 9th and 11th grade English teacher at Montclair Kimberley Academy, Chris later taught at Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart and Princeton Day School before joining the faculty at The Lawrenceville School in Lawrenceville, NJ, where he is currently the Assistant Head of School and Dean of Faculty, having served since 2003 as English teacher, Head of House, Advisor, and Varsity Coach.

  • Corporate Partnership Program
    Dear Friend: Educational inequality is a national issue, especially in underrepresented communities. Young individuals who, simply by chance, have been born into low-income zip codes do not, and most likely will never, have the same educational and career opportunities as their more privileged peers. This disproportionate access to quality education is an injustice to young students, and its long-term effects negatively impact communities for decades, or even generations to come. We cannot idly stand by while the trajectory of a person’s life is determined by chance. For nearly three decades, SEEDS has worked to close this gap and change the lives of motivated, high- achieving students from low-income households in New Jersey through one thing: ACCESS. SEEDS has delivered life-changing educational opportunities to more than 3,000 students and counting, ensuring they have the knowledge, skills, access, and support needed to thrive at the nation’s finest educational institutions. SEEDS Scholars graduate at rates exceeding those of the wealthiest communities and far exceeding that of their peers. This level of sustained achievement requires a community committed to continuing and advancing this cause. We require YOUR help. SEEDS Corporate Partners play a vital role in reducing the educational disparity experienced by students of lower socioeconomic statuses. Therefore, I am proud to share that SEEDS now offers Corporate Partnership Packages, allowing companies such as yours to not only support the education of promising students, but to truly change the course of their lives. Enclosed for your review is our partner prospectus, inclusive of customizable opportunities, an overview of SEEDS programs, and student statistics.
