School Notes

Maine Coast Waldorf School offers a distinctive early childhood through high school experience in Freeport, a vibrant coastal town 20 minutes north of Portland.
Their 75-acre campus is more than scenic. It's a living classroom. Students enjoy the woods, gardens, open fields, and robust trail system on campus for place-based learning, atheltics, and outdoor education.
Their location provides access to Maine's landscapes from rugged coastline and beaches, to nearby nature preserves and state parks.
Maine Coast Waldorf School is committed to reflecting Maine's economic diversity and making their unique education accessible to families who value it. Through their generous tuition adjustment program, Maine Coast Waldorf School provides over $1 million in assistance annually, supporting approximately 45% of their students.
The foreign language program is robust, with two-thirds of students completing an international exchange by junior year.
Families enjoy a convenient bus service along the coast. The northern route serves communities from Freeport to Wiscasset, while the southern route covers Freeport to Cape Elizabeth.

Students are challenged to think critically, write clearly, and explore deeply. Classes follow a model of immersive block learning, allowing students to dive deeply into topics. Our interdisciplinary curriculum includes humanities, math, science, world languages, handcrafts, music, and drama.
Arts are not elective-they are essential, woven into the daily rhythm of school life as vital expressions of thought and feeling.
Students are known and mentored by teachers who guide them toward intellectual challenge and personal growth.
Elective classes and clubs often span grade levels, fostering authentic social connections and collaboration across ages.Leadership, creativity, and collaboration come alive through Model UN, the Maine State Science Fair, One Act festivals, Poetry Out Loud, and the Climate&Me Youth Summit.
Senior year culminates in a year-long capstone project and an immersive internship, connecting students' passions to real-world experiences.
Maine Coast Waldorf School offers athletic teams for Grades 6-12. Our flexible afternoon academic schedule, designed with high school athletes in mind, allows many to pursue additional sports off campus. From skiing, sailing, and volleyball to rowing, soccer, and more, students are empowered to participate in athletic programs hosted by community organizations. Our Athletic Director works closely with students and families to support participation in off-campus programs.
With a hands-on, interdisciplinary education that has nurtured both intellect and imagination, our graduates are uniquely prepared for a world that demands both innovation and heart. They are collaborators, creators, and compassionate community members-ready not just to succeed, but to shape and serve the world they are entering.

School Reviews

5 10/7/2018

My children have been in a Waldorf school since they were under 2 years and change. We moved to Maine specifically for this school, so they could have a Waldorf education through high school. Their education has been nothing short of fabulous. It integrates a social education with an academic education and has fostered in my children a sincere love of learning. I highly recommend Maine Coast Waldorf School to anyone who is interested in a robust and deep education experience for their child, be it in the Family Program (birth - 3 years), early childhood, primary school, middle school, or high school. This is education for life!
