About Us

 

Chewonki Elementary and Middle School is an intentionally small independent school in Wiscasset, Maine, for children in grades 1-8 that models the best in innovative education, integrated academic programs, and experiential learning. Extending our 100-year tradition of educating children and young adults in the outdoors, we have designed our place-based school program with current research that reflects best practices for high-impact teaching and learning.

Chewonki Elementary and Middle School is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and is a State of Maine Approved Private School.
