Partnership with Strong Wings

The Nantucket Partnership for Children represents a powerful and visionary model for year-round learning and growth on island.

Learning That Lasts All Year

By uniting Nantucket New School and Strong Wings Adventure School under one mission-driven organization, we’ve created an extraordinary continuum of care, education, and exploration that nurtures the whole child—mind, body, and spirit. The collaboration between Strong Wings and New School allows children to experience consistent values, trusted relationships, and joyful learning across all seasons.

Where Curiosity Meets Confidence

Students thrive in a nurturing environment grounded in curiosity, creativity, and community during the academic year. In the summer months, those same children and many others from across the country are empowered to take healthy risks, build confidence, and explore Nantucket’s natural landscape through outdoor adventure and physical challenge. Our programs complement and strengthen one another, offering families a unified, child-centered experience deeply rooted in our island community and endlessly expansive in its impact.

The Partnership is more than an administrative structure—it is a shared commitment to helping Nantucket’s children grow, wonder, and thrive throughout the year.
