Maine Central Institute Co-ed Boarding School Information:

Mission Statement
MCI pledges to provide a rigorous, comprehensive educational program to a multicultural student body with a wide range of abilities and interests. In a safe and caring atmosphere, students will acquire knowledge, self-esteem, social responsibility, and the critical thinking and communication skills necessary for global citizenship and lifelong learning. 
 

Core Values

• Comprehensiveness
MCI is a comprehensive school open to those who choose to attend as long as they will not adversely impact the safety within the school community or disrupt the school day.

• Diversity
The school deeply values the diverse makeup of its school community and encourages the continuing effort to bring individuals from every possible cultural and/or economic background to the school. Thus, the school is truly able to celebrate the diversity of the world.

• Community and Family
The sense of community and family, not only within the school itself, but also in the greater community, is a critical value of the school.

• Standards of Excellence
A high level of rigor and expectation of excellence in all components of the school's operation is critical, whether that be the academic program, the residential program, the co-curricular activities or the overall support system at the school.

• Focus on the Individual
The people at MCI work diligently to focus on each student as an individual to ensure that every person grows academically, socially and physically and becomes a global citizen.

• Independence
MCI's status as an independent school is critical to the continued operation of the institution. We are extremely proud of our founding as a private Maine academy. This foundation upon which we have built for 141 years must never be sacrificed.
