From Mystic Seaport President Steve White
"Mystic Seaport is proud to be partnering with Hamden hall to provide rigorous and dynamic programming that complements what happens in the classroom. Hamden Hall is leading the way with innovative use of educational resources outside of the classroom."
Learning Comes to Life!
Hamden Hall forms partnerships with the best resources in the area to bring learning to life for our students. One of the most innovative and dynamic is our collaboration with Mystic Seaport.
In conjunction with Mystic educators, we combine in-class lessons and activities for our fourth- and fifth-graders with onsite travels to the popular maritime history attraction.
The results are cross curricular, highly interactive monthly programs that are varied and project-based in areas such as geography, nautical science, American history, technology, and more.
As a two-year partnership, content differs by grade. In Grade 4, the focus is "life at Sea," combining simulation activities along with primary source analysis. Meanwhile, in Grade 5, students take part in a very hands-on, yearlong, "Seaport Town Apprenticeship" program.
The fourth and fifth-graders share what they have learned at a biennial Mystic Festival that is held on campus in the spring. Research skills, note-taking, organization, and study skills are reinforced throughout the year.
