Welcome to the Maine School of Science and Mathematics!

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Maine School of Science and Mathematics (MSSM). As the Dean of Enrollment Management, I am thrilled to introduce you to our vibrant community of learners, educators, and innovators.

Established in  1995,  MSSM is a prestigious, public, boarding school located in Limestone, Maine that has been serving some of the academically motivated and passionate minds in Maine and across the country. Our mission is to inspire and empower students to achieve their full potential, both academically and personally.  That is achieved through our caring, small, close knit community of teachers and learners, driven by a balanced approach to whole-student development while exploring rigorous coursework and hands-on learning opportunities.

Our distinguished faculty are not only experts in their fields, with 85% of them possessing advanced degrees,  but also passionate educators committed to guiding and mentoring students. With small class sizes, our students benefit from individualized attention and the opportunity to engage deeply with the material. We believe in cultivating critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills to  serve our students well in their future endeavors.

MSSM is more than just a school; it is a community where all are encouraged to explore their interests, ask big questions, develop leadership skills, and build lasting friendships. Our residential life program provides a safe and nurturing environment where students from diverse backgrounds come together to live, learn, and grow. Culminating into friendships, connections, and memories that often last a lifetime.

As you explore our website and learn more about what MSSM has to offer, I invite you to reach out to our  office with any questions you have. Our enrollment team is here to assist you through every step of the admission process and to help you discover if MSSM is the right fit for your educational journey.

I look forward to welcoming you to campus!

Sincerely,


Santiago Durango
Dean of Enrollment Management
