The Maine Coast Semester (or MCS), founded in 1988, is a semester-long, environmental education program for high school juniors run by the Chewonki Foundation and located in Wiscasset, Maine. The founding director was S. Scott Andrews, who currently teaches history. Students study the natural history of the Maine coast, work on an organic farm, go on two short wilderness trips, help maintain the campus, and participate in a rigorous academic program that adapts to the students sending school's requirements.
