Harpswell Coastal Academy

Mission Statement

A vision for a truly 21st century public school - deliberately small, fiercely focused on helping our young people, regardless of background, learning style, or any other factor, find a pathway to productive, rewarding citizenship. A strong sense of place embedded in all we do - the natural and man-made world, the people and other creatures, the history and the traditions, and the possibilities for the future of Harpswell and MidCoast Maine. A sense that anything is possible - for our students and our staff especially - HCA is where conventional wisdom is tested and re-tested - some of it lasting, and some of it going by the wayside, depending on whether it helps us get where we need to go, or gets in the way.
