Marine Scientists
CCA’s marine science class spent Tuesday shipboard and dockside in Woods Hole. After deploying oceanographic gear at sea and meeting benthic animals that live locally, they toured a replica of the Alvin submersible before seeing the real HOV Alvin getting ready for its next trip onboard WHOI’s R/V Atlantis. It was a great day!

Elizabeth Sears
Elizabeth Sears is Cape Cod Academy's lower school world languages teacher. She grew up in Longmeadow, MA and then attended Connecticut College where she double majored in Chinese Language and Literature and East Asian Studies, while also enjoying time studying abroad in Beijing. After graduation, Elizabeth taught Chinese at Kingswood Oxford School in West Hartford, CT where she had the opportunity to return to China. She led a student trip there and also visited on her own to live and study in Hangzhou. Elizabeth received her MA in Chinese with a concentration in teaching Chinese from Middlebury College and then taught at Landon School in Bethesda, MD for five years.
Elizabeth is thrilled to be back on the Cape, living in Falmouth with her family. She is familiar with the area having spent many years at the Children's School of Science in Woods Hole when she was growing up. In addition to teaching Chinese, Elizabeth loves gardening and running.
This year, she is most excited to introduce different languages to the lower school students. She is also excited to integrate the study of language with the study of culture, as the two are so inextricably linked. So far, the lower schoolers are doing quite well in their endeavors.
