Liberty School enhances traditional high school subjects with innovative and diverse offerings, and in addition offers life learning by involving students in administrative tasks and issues. We define ourselves as a democratic learning community where teachers and students make decisions collaboratively.

Here's a short list of some key features of Liberty School:

• An independent day school
• Grades 9-12
• State approved to receive tuition from towns without a high school
• Students: 70, both from the immediate area and other areas of Maine and beyond
• Faculty: 7 full time, 5 part time
• Location: Blue Hill, Maine

We believe students learn best when they are pursuing interests and passions in a cooperative rather than competitive environment. Our approach emphasizes how to think rather than what to think.

We give our students considerable freedom to determine their own goals, manage their schedule, and make the kinds of mistakes that teach in a way books or lectures cannot.

Education is a part of life and not merely a preparation for life. Learning as an experience is of value in and of itself.
