Academics
Lee Academy offers a comprehensive, placed-based high school curriculum, which is rooted in our natural outdoor location. Our school has developed a remarkable sense of community among our diverse and accepting student body, faculty, and staff.
Life Beyond the Classroom
For students living on campus, there are weekly shopping trips and regular weekend trips to Bangor, a nearby city that offers shopping, restaurants, and entertainment.
Students also have opportunities throughout the year to explore the natural beauty of Maine. In the warmer months, trips may include visits to local lakes and Maine’s scenic coastline.
During the winter, students can enjoy a downhill skiing and tubing hill located within walking distance of campus.
Additional trips throughout the year may include visits to:
-
movie theaters
-
sporting events
-
art museums
-
college campuses
There are also occasional trips to Portland and Boston, where students can experience cultural events and city life. These trips are also open to local students when space is available.
The dynamic and engaging curriculum of Lee Academy provides diverse course offerings, from traditional academic courses to a wide variety of electives, including AP courses and opportunities for college credit through dual-enrollment and on-line classes. A pathway providing immersive outdoor and environmental learning experiences is specifically unique to Lee Academy and its surroundings. Local students may also take advantage of career and technical training through use of our Engineering and Technology courses or the nearby vocational school.
