The administration, faculty, staff and Board of Trustees of the Maine School of Science and Mathematics (MSSM) are committed to providing academic excellence to enhance previous knowledge, as well as, to prepare students for future studies. The opportunity to attend the MSSM is a privilege and each student can make the most of this experience by being dedicated to the academic and residential programs. Graduates of the MSSM have experienced a well-defined curriculum based upon academic standards fostering both academic discipline and honesty.

All students live in residence to fully participate in this scholastic program of excellence with students who share similar interests. The nurturing of this educational community, the integration of the academic and residential components, is crucial to success at the MSSM. Students are responsible for taking advantage of the academic and extra-curricular pursuits available at the MSSM and for supporting community members in both their academic and personal developments.
