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.

Schoodic Institute’s focus is understanding environmental change taking place in Acadia and beyond, and helping managers respond and adapt to change. Through rigorous research and strong partnerships, we develop successful models for engaging people of all ages in science and supporting researchers and educators. We are also creating professional pathways for early-career scientists, educators, and science communicators working in conservation.

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.
