The Sound School Regional Vocational Aquaculture Center is accredited inter-district, college preparatory, high school, one of the 19 vocational agriculture centers in Connecticut, and a part of The New Haven Public School System. We are the first (full-time center) to concentrate in the study of aquaculture and marine trades.

Located on the banks of New Haven Harbor in historic Oyster Point, The Sound School boasts a five building campus with sweeping water views. This is the ideal location for the unique high school program with a dual focus on marine and agriculture sciences and technology. The Sound School offers students a blend of the academic and practical education necessary to succeed in today's ever-changing world. We enroll students from New Haven and twenty-one surrounding towns creating a community of diversity that develops students' social and intellectual skills.

Sound School students take courses in maritime history, literature of the sea, boat building, oceanography, marine biology, aquaculture chemistry and marine technology. Students enrolled in our Agriculture program (available only to New Haven students) take courses in natural resources, greenhouse technology, agricultural chemistry, veterinary science, and hydroponics. All students take standard high school courses such as English, math, foreign language, and history. We also offer a full range of after school activities including off-site sports.

The expanded Sound School curriculum provides an excellent background for a wide range of choices after graduation. Solid training in math, science and the marine trades allows students to pursue further education in college, the technical trades, or apply their vocational and personal skills directly in the job market. Students who are interested in land and sea sciences, trades, & careers are urged to apply.
