College of the Atlantic was founded in 1969 on the premise that education should go beyond understanding the world as it is, to enabling students to actively shape its future. Classes focus on understanding the relationships between humans and our environment and improving those relationships: in policy, art, science and a multitude of category-defying fields. We call this Human Ecology. Classes are interdisciplinary, learning hands-on and active, relationships are emphasized. Students are encouraged to go to the source and do their own creative thinking in the hopes that they may help shape a more sustainable future.
