Harpswell Coastal Academy


  • Mission

    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.
