Summary: At Maine Central Institute we place an emphasis on the values of respect, honesty, care, safety, and responsibility. These values are evident throughout campus and are fundamental to our community. With such a genuinely diverse community located in central Maine, a unique opportunity exists providing all members of our community to interact with people with different backgrounds, interests, and beliefs. Beyond the classroom there is constant interaction between local students and boarding students that is both structured and naturally occurring. Adults on campus are here for students and it is common to see teachers, administrators, and staff members interacting with students with the intent of providing support and care. A permeating theme at Maine Central Institute is that of positive relationships among community members, which makes our school a genuinely special place to learn and live.

Summary: With a campus community that is a combination of local day students and boarding students from around the world, residential life at Maine Central Institute is an experience that has much more to offer than a typical boarding school. In addition to students from over fifteen countries, Maine Central Institute is the home of nationally, and world, renowned programs such as Bossov Ballet. Students in those programs call our dorms home for over nine months of the year. Activities are planned for all days off from school so that boarding students can experience a wide variety of what central Maine and New England offers. The library, student center, and gyms are available for use outside of school hours for both boarding and day students to use. Day and boarding students are involved in classes and co-curricular activities every day, but it is the opportunities outside of those organized times that provide boarding students some of the most genuine, and valuable, opportunities to interact with local students and families in a natural setting. There are countless stories and examples of boarding students that have developed lasting friendships with those they live with in the dorm with, classmates, teammates, local families, and adults on campus that have had an effect on them, which is a priceless reality that being a boarding student at MCI offers.

Summary: Playing music or acting in plays isn't just about faring well in competitions with other schools, although MCI certainly stands out. It's about getting involved; over 150 students play in one or more musical groups, take piano, music theory or song writing classes, and many students participate in drama or art competitions each year. It's about discipline, working together towards a common goal, taking pride in doing something well, and having fun while making art.At MCI, we believe that athletics is an important part of the educational process, a dynamic lesson in teamwork and personal dedication. We offer a comprehensive athletic program for student-athletes of varying levels of ability. Maine Central Institute is a member of the Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference (KVAC) and the Little Ten Conference (LTC).
