About MSSM
The MSSM is a public residential magnet school chartered and funded by the Maine State Legislature. A residential community committed to the pursuit of academic excellence located in Limestone, Maine, MSSM provides an extensive and challenging curriculum in mathematics, science, technology, and the arts and humanities. The MSSM was created by the 116th Maine Legislature in 1995 and is a member of the National Consortium of Specialized Secondary Schools of Science, Mathematics, and Technology. The Maine School of Science and Mathematics opened with a pioneer class in 1995. At that time it was only the eleventh statewide residential magnet school specializing in mathematics and science education in the United States and the only school of its kind in New England. Both remain true today.While MSSM students come from diverse backgrounds, one common purpose prevails-the enthusiasm, desire, and motivation for, as well as the commitment to, learning. The challenging curriculum and stimulating environment create an ongoing learning experience with students working, studying, and socializing with classmates who share similar interests and goals.
The school is all about learning and that is the primary goal: to learn new things, expand horizons, and come out a better person.
