The Curriculum Design

The Maritime Academy of Toledo provides students with a challenging standards-based education that promotes academic excellence and leadership formation using maritime/nautical focused themes throughout traditional subject areas. The curriculum focuses on one of the world’s most valuable resources—water, in particular, the navigable waterways of the Great Lakes, its islands, rivers, ecosystems, recreation, impact on the local economy, food chain, and food supply.  Nautical/Marine Themes teach traditional and non-traditional content areas including but not limited to marine biology; physics; earth science; engineering; radar; sonar; navigation; global positioning systems; geographical information systems; robotics; mapping/charting; nautical/marine art, architecture, and woodworking; sea literature, narratives, poetry and prose; lighthouses; shipwrecks; coastlines; islands; sea travel; seaports; canals; locks; leisure; sports; economics/commerce; and technology themes will be used to teach to Ohio Content standards.
