Boston Leadership Institute: Marine Biology Summer Program

'For the second time doing a marine life class this program offered the best hands-on activity, discussion and activities. I felt like I learned a lot and I had a lot of fun.'

'My favorite part of the program was the field trips, the hands-on element was unique to the program and an experience that would not be easily found elsewhere. I bonded with other students in the program, and the knowledge I gained over the course of the three weeks is invaluable.'

'Steve was an amazing teacher...He made sure he incorporated many interests and overall was very clear. The program itself was just as enjoyable with all its field trips and lectures.'

'I really enjoyed taking this Marine Biology class because I was able to learn a lot about endangered species and habitats, as well as how one can save these from extinction.'

"I liked that we had interesting activities planned out each day and I really enjoyed the field research. Steve was really chill and encouraged us to improve. This program also allowed me to meet many new friends. Overall, it was a great hands-on program."

"I liked the field trips, since we got to do our own data collecting. I liked the aquarium (in the classroom) that we had also, since we got to touch the animals there."

"I really enjoyed going on the field trips and doing activities in the classroom. Mr. Smith was a really good teacher and I learned a lot from his lessons and activities."

“I loved all of the field trips we went on. The hands on experience is something I have never had before. Steve was an amazing teacher and counselor and his passion and knowledge made me love marine biology more. I liked that we got to take notes on something and then be able to experience it on our next field trip.”

“I thought this class was an incredible opportunity, I love that we had both in class and in the field learning experiences. The teacher was nice and gave great lectures and balanced his class time so it was never repetitive or boring. I enjoyed being able to learn without worrying about grades and being able to physically experience each habitat.”
