A Special Purpose Private School

Testimonials

“As a former Special Education Director and Current Assistant Superintendent for Maine School Administrative District # 60, I can say with confidence that MapleStone has turned many of our region's most challenged students in the right direction.
Without MapleStone, there really is no programming available that provides hands on skills in a variety of areas where students can hone their collaborative skills, increase their ability to communicate effectively and expend positive energy learning skills that will help them in their future vocations.
The pride that I see when visiting our students in the program underscores the absolute necessity for our students to be successful in often nontraditional ways. Maplestone offers this for that student who has not been able to be successful in a typical school setting.”

“I love school!”

“At my old school I got up to go and see my friends. At MapleStone I get up to learn. You might not realize it at the time, but you are learning in everything we do.”

Quotes from Current Students

  • It’s important that we know who we are, what we can be, and what we can do…

  • We need to work as a team so none of us get hurt.

  • Those who truly know something can teach it, and this quarter, we taught several welding classes with teachers and students from other schools.

  • Blocks are a new way for us to experience other groups. Within the blocks we have new found experiences with canoeing, kayaking, rock climbing, and operating machinery.

  • We really liked teaching welding because we got to teach people what we had learned.
