Our Mission is inspiring science, learning, and community for a changing world.

Schoodic Institute is located in the homeland of the Wabanaki, People of the Dawn.

We are Acadia National Park’s primary partner in science and education. Together, we manage the largest of 18 National Park Service Research Learning Centers in the United States.

We support scientific research of importance to the Park, provide professional development for teachers, and train a new generation of stewards who will help conserve our natural and cultural heritage. Education and communication are integrated with our research programs through citizen science, public programs and events, and information sharing.

Our nonprofit structure allows us the flexibility to support Acadia National Park in creating innovative partnerships such as Acadia Science Fellowship, Second Century Stewardship, and the Citizen Science Association.
