One School, Two Routes To Success: Campus & Threshold 

• The Campus program provides a useful education in the natural sciences of agriculture, forestry and the environment in a hands-on setting on our campus in Hinckley, Maine. Our students become engaged, self-directed learners and an asset to their community. 
• The Threshold program is an innovative method of earning a high school diploma. Threshold students learn through individualized projects in core subject areas. 

Students in both programs benefit from working in and around our 1 Acre Farm, the Cheryl Bulmer Sugar House, greenhouses, aquaponics, and more. Agriculture is hugely important to the lifestyle and economy of Maine. We’re proud to contribute to the future of industries so important to our state and to help our community survive and thrive. 

“I’m proud to be part of the State’s Charter system which is charged with providing innovative educational opportunities to Maine’s youth. MeANS curricular focus is incredibly relevant to local and global communities.”
