"The girls are back and they are profoundly changed! I cannot get over their maturity, poise and general demeanor. It is incredible what you and your team have been able to do. We are all grateful and very jealous!"
Meredith Rosenblatt
Teacher, Queens School of Inquiry
"I cannot express how incredible it feels to see the transformation in my daughter and to learn about who she is after all the growth CSG has catalyzed in her. To share this small slice of love, laughter and celebration was wonderfully overwhelming. I wonder how everyone there has produced this miracle, and I realize it is nothing less than one."

Mother of a CSG Student

“What we know from research and experience is that during adolescence, many young women drop out of the science ‘pipeline’. Coastal Studies for Girls will help influence and encourage more young women at an earlier age to pursue science studies and careers.”
Dr. Theo Kalikow
President, University of Maine at Farmington

“In a world where popular media beckons like a modern day Siren, Coastal Studies for Girls offers a true journey, one that takes a girl seriously and satisfies a quest for knowledge that's real and lasting.”
Lyn Mikel Brown, Ed.D.
Professor of Education and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Colby College
“NCGS is pleased to be a partner to CSG's challenging, unique and timely program for girls. CSG is based on a medley of research findings and extensive personal experience. All this is to suggest that when women of any age pursue their passions they often discover new things about themselves. When such opportunities are extended to adolescent girls, the impact is tremendous, and in many cases, life-changing. For these and many other reasons, we celebrate the CSG mission and stand ready to help the launch of this venture.”
Meg Milne Moulton & Whitney Ransome
Former Executive Directors of the National Coalition of Girls' Schools

“I wholeheartedly support Coastal Studies for Girls. The opportunities abound on the Maine coast, and engaging young women in exploration of the natural world around them, of other people, and of themselves holds much promise. Though I was fortunate to grow up in a Maine island community and be surrounded by the sea, I realize that is not the case for most. This school brings young women from Maine and blends them with girls from all over the nation – a one-of-a-kind experience! I'm looking forward to sharing my knowledge with CSG students.”
