The MSSM Difference
You will be challenged, you will achieve.
Maine School of Science and Mathematics (MSSM) brings together and helps a group of Maine's most academically motivated high school students become innovative, well-rounded scholars with the ability to develop, investigate, and communicate critical ideas that improve the human condition and benefit the state of Maine. MSSM stands as a beacon of academic excellence in both state and national rankings.
Expand Your World
Guided by dedicated faculty, MSSM students enjoy stretching their brains in new and challenging directions. They come for inquiry, camaraderie, and a unique high school experience.
Find Your Place
Community is a hallmark of the MSSM experience. As a 100% boarding, STEM-focused public residential high school, students discover a place where they are comfortable challenging themselves and being themselves.
Pursue Your Passions
MSSM students balance their rigorous academic coursework with enrichment opportunities outside the classroom. With a variety of student-led clubs, athletics, competitive clubs, and outdoor excursions, students can pursue their passions beyond the classroom walls.
