Anchor Academy was recently spotlighted on WCVB-TV’s 5 for Good for its partnership with the Community Boating Center in New Bedford. The feature highlights students building and sailing a wooden wherry skiff as part of a hands-on vocational learning project.

This initiative, which blends STEM education with teamwork and real-world skills, is part of Anchor Academy’s mission to support students with disabilities through engaging, therapeutic learning experiences.

“This project gave students a chance to rebuild their confidence and identity as learners,” said School Director Lauren Cohen.
