It is governed by an operating school board and is under the supervision of the Educational Superintendent of the Northern New England Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, located in Portland, Maine.
Christian Education seeks to develop a life of faith in Jesus Christ and a respect for the dignity of all human beings; to build character akin to that of the Creator, to promote the joy of service, and to embrace all that is true, good, and beautiful.
