As
a parent or an employer (or both), if you are thinking about
relocating to the mid-Maine area you have a serious interest
in our educational system. We realize that the education of
our children is a key to this area’s growth, development,
and ultimate success in a technological and highly-competitive
world. All of our educational systems in mid-Maine are committed
to a philosophy and a curriculum which prepares young people
to achieve in the workplace of the 21st-century. |
Schools here,
as in most places, compete strenuously in sports! However, when
it comes to academics and personal development in mid-Maine schools,
competition gives way to cooperation and the pursuit of common
goals.
Wherever
you live in mid-Maine, you will find a school system committed
to help-ing each child become a well-adjusted, informed, productive,
and responsible citizen of the world community.
Our schools
strive to:
- Help
students develop their self-esteem, and reach their full academic
potential. This is reflected in the fact that mid-Maine students
show increasingly higher scores in the Maine Educational Assessment
tests and that a consistently growing number of graduates go
on to post-secondary education.
- Create
healthy partnerships with local business and industry to provide
early opportunities for students to learn about the real world
of work.
- Bring
students to new levels of understanding of technology and computer
literacy. There is a growing emphasis in our schools on mathematics
and science as cornerstones of future careers in almost all
fields.
- Maintain
an emphasis on the humanities: the written and spoken word,
history, social studies, ethics and philosophy, and the fine
arts. Our schools believe it is not enough to know “how” to
function in the modern world, it is also necessary to know “why”
we behave the way we do. The humanities offer timeless insights
into the nature of human behavior and development.
- Expand
students’ understanding of the “global village” in which they
will live. There is a new emphasis on the study of foreign languages,
the global environ-ment, world trade, and the significance of
international relationships and how these factors relate to
life in central Maine.
- Provide
a strong foundation of knowledge and skills while preparing
students to accept the need for life-long learning and on-going
adaptation to change.
Each of the
school systems in mid-Maine has objectives and programs which
are unique. Information on these is always available from the
individual Superintendents of Schools’ offices. Whether you are
a parent, an employer or, most importantly, a student, we believe
you will find that mid-Maine schools share in common a sincere
commitment to quality education and indi-vidual growth that is
essential to the future — for all of us.
