In response to the coronavirus pandemic, on-campus classes at GSA ceased on Monday, March 16. This cancellation includes all extracurricular events, public meetings, etc. Classes will not resume on campus until May 1 at the earliest. As our situation changes, this announcement will be updated. After a lot of hard work by GSA teachers, administrators, and staff, remote instruction began on March 19. As public events are cancelled or postponed, our website calendar will be updated.
We are regularly adding helpful resources for students and families, as well as communications to our school community regarding the coronavirus. After Head of School Tim Seeley sends new letters to our parents, students, and others, they will be posted on that resource page to make them easier to access.
TOWN TUITIONING INITIATIVE INFORMATION
A GSA education costs nearly $3,000 more per student than our sending towns pay. In November, we began talking with the towns about raising the tuition rate for local students who attend GSA.
George Stevens Academy is a town academy on the coast of Maine. Founded in 1852, we are the high school for nearly all students from the seven towns in our rural community. We also enroll private-pay day and boarding students from around the world. Our students’ interests, talents, and aspirations reflect the diversity of the communities from which they come. GSA provides a comprehensive and challenging education for all students, for those who will build futures in surrounding communities and for those who will make lives elsewhere in the world. Our many academic and experiential programs foster a love of knowledge, inspire creativity, instill self-confidence, encourage good character, and prepare each graduate for a purposeful life in a changing world. (Approved by the Board of Trustees on April 25, 2019)
George Stevens Academy is dedicated to providing a safe, equitable environment for all community members, one free from discrimination and all forms of bullying and harassment. We strive to create programs and services which result in an environment that welcomes and celebrates every member of our community, provides opportunities for all to contribute, and provides for the civil rights of all.
