Chewonki Semester School, formerly the Maine Coast Semester, is a semester-long environmental education program for high school juniors in Wiscasset, Maine operated by the Chewonki Foundation. The program was founded in 1988 by S. Scott Andrews, currently a faculty member teaching U.S. History. Students in the school study the natural history of the Maine coast, work on an organic farm, go on two short wilderness trips, help maintain the campus, and participate in a rigorous academic program that adapts to the student's sending school's requirements.
