We also plan a variety of K-12 initiatives that are core components of our program.

Flex Friday: Every Friday features an early release at noon, with flexible, open-ended learning experiences. In the final 90 minutes, students join six- to eight-week electives such as French nature walks, robotics, or boatbuilding.
Exhibitions and Knowledge Fair: Quarterly events showcase student projects, with the Knowledge Fair focusing on inquiry-based, student-driven topics.
Expeditions and Place-Based Learning: Students participate in on- and off-island experiences, such as wilderness challenges during the Secondary Fall Field Study. Learning expeditions align with core academics and incorporate the Maine Guiding Principles.
Habits of Work: Our K-12 students are also assessed according to a key set of practices called Habits of Work, which are composed of a variety of essential skills in executive functioning and project management. We have aligned these habits of work to our school's core values: Challenge, Competence, Community, and Compassion.

By prioritizing multi-age collaboration, personalized learning, and experiential opportunities, North Haven Community School offers a dynamic and enriching K-12 education.
