Year-Round Schooling Break Programs
Year-Round Schooling Break Programs
In partnership with New London Public Schools (NLPS), NESS offers experiential learning programs to explore and dive deeper into STEM concepts during the Year-Round Schooling Program breaks.
This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to providing students with enriching educational experiences that foster curiosity, teamwork, and personal growth. By working together, NESS and NLPS ensure that students not only have access to high-quality educational opportunities but also develop essential skills that extend beyond the classroom.

New London Youth Sailing Programs
New London Youth Sailing Programs at Green Harbor do not require any sailing experience and provide a supportive environment where New London youth sailors can build and improve their sailing skills while learning respect for their fellow sailors, boats, and the water – all while having some fun.
This program is free for New London students. Students may register for one week of open enrollment sessions.
