Working with Maine Schools

ACROSS THE CURRICULUM

Thanks to a grant from the Quimby Family Foundation, SISS has conducted a number of workshops for teachers to promote the use of the Sculpture Trail across the Curriculum. From geology to physics and math, the sculpture trail can be a backdrop for interdisciplinary explorations.

VISIT THE TRAIL

Since 2007 over two dozen schools have visited the Symposium, watching as artists carved out their sculptures. Bring your students on a short tour of the trail. To ask for a guide for your organization’s tour or visit, please contact us.

IN THE CLASSROOM

Looking for ideas to bring the trail to your students? Over the years we have archived a number of fantastic projects that teachers have come up with, to give the students ways to connect with this artwork.

STEWARDSHIP OF THE TRAIL

The Schoodic International Sculpture Symposium would like to foster the idea of stewardship within the schools along the trail. Every sculpture is a story that is part of the community and carrying that story forward is essential.
