Mission Statement, approved by Board of Trustees, July 2007

George Stevens Academy offers an exciting array of courses for high school students. Serving as the high school of choice for most of the students in Blue Hill and the surrounding towns on the peninsula, GSA offers a diverse curriculum to prepare students for college or work.

GSA's strategic plan continues a commitment to serve community students and to meet the academic needs of a wide variety of local students. The Academy also admits boarding students from around the world and private tuition students from Maine and beyond. A target enrollment figure of only 350 students allows us to offer an extraordinary range of academic and extra-curricular offerings, but keeps us small enough to know every student well and encourage strong faculty/student relationships.
