With 204 acres of underdeveloped land, the island has mature forests, meadows, freshwater and marine wetlands, salt marshes, a variety of geological features, and a formal campus of indoor and outdoor classrooms. Using the environment as the set and stage, Cathleen Stone Island ignites a love of learning, inspires curiosity and demands teamwork.
