I live locally. How does the enrollment process work?
If you are an incoming Freshman from GSB, South Bristol, Bristol, Nobleboro, Jefferson, St George School, Whitefield School, Center for Teaching and Learning, The Riley School, or Damariscotta Montessori School, we will connect with you by mail in October to begin the enrollment process through your middle school.

I live outside the local school district? What do I do?
If you are a student from a town outside of the AOS93 school district, a private middle school, or a prospective transfer student from 9th-12th grade, please fill out an inquiry form or give us a call at 207-563-3596 and ask for Admissions or the Registrar. You can also book a tour if you have not yet been to campus.
