Established in 2000, The New School is situated in the picturesque town of Kennebunk, Maine. Our independent microschool stands as a beacon for alternative, student-centric education. Set against the backdrop of natural beauty, and yet conveniently accessible from downtown Kennebunk, our small high school offers an atmosphere that is not just conducive to academic achievement but also personal growth.
Here, we embrace a pedagogy that prizes flexibility, understanding that every student brings their own unique learning style to the table. Rather than adopting a "one-size-fits-all" approach, we empower our students to be active contributors to their educational journey, making room for experiential learning that defies the four walls of a traditional classroom. Our alumni, therefore, are not just successful individuals but change-makers who contribute positively to society.
