Oliver Hazard Perry will be a platform for experiential education that increases the academic enrichment opportunities for students of all ages and abilities, as well as for their families, educators and mentors, with a proven model to include:

• Demanding academics on shore followed by an experiential application at sea
• The ability for educators and students to collect and use ocean, coastal, weather and climate data for inquiry and evidence-based activities and research projects
• Working one-to-one with educators in an informal setting
• The opportunity to earn academic credit in high school or university course work

Our partners will include:

• Colleges and universities for semester at sea programs
• Public and charter schools for day trip programs
• Private schools for week long or intersession programs
• After school, summer camp and outdoor education programs
• Naval and maritime academy training institutions
• Marine trade and ship handling certification programs
