On Jan. 29, the Sanibel Sea School welcomed 23 students from South Fort Myers High School for a hands-on marine science field trip. The students in grades 10-12 were enrolled in Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) Marine Science, and the day was designed to provide them with real-world experience exploring the ecosystems that they study in the classroom.<\/p>\n

AICE is a global program administered through the University of Cambridge in the U.K.<\/p>\n

The Sanibel Sea School reported that the visit was driven by a student who was also enrolled in the AICE Travel & Tourism course, where students are tasked with planning and hosting an event.<\/p>\n

South Fort Myers High is a Title I school and to help make the experience accessible, the Sanibel Sea School reduced the per-student cost with support from its scholarship fund. The students then took ownership of the opportunity by organizing fundraisers at their school to cover the cost of the bus trip.<\/p>\n

The day was divided into two immersive stations, led by marine science educators Izzy Lutz and Jordyn Sateren. In one, students conducted a squid dissection, diving into anatomy and adaptations. In the other, they explored seagrass beds with dip nets. The group encountered an impressive array of species, including lizardfish, flounders, pipefish, a seahorse, hermit crabs, blue crabs and mud snails.<\/p>\n

The Sanibel Sea School noted that field trips like this highlight the power of experiential education, especially when students are given agency to shape their own learning experiences.<\/p>\n
