About Us

The Nantucket Community School is a community organization that reaches all pockets of Nantucket Island’s diverse community. Established during Town meeting in 1989, the Nantucket Community School was originally created to utilize the public school facilities “outside of school time” to offer adult education classes and a community pool program. The role of the Nantucket Community School has expanded to include offering educational and enrichment activities to all Nantucket islanders and visitors of all ages.

Our collaborative team is structured into eight areas of focus including Early Childhood Education & Enrichment, Extended Day Childcare, Children’s Enrichment, Teen Enrichment, Adult Education & Enrichment, ACKventure Summer Camps, Community Recreation and the Nantucket Community Pool.
