We sent our son to private school instead of kindergarten at Appleton Village School: any parent that can possibly afford to, does so. In fact, some teachers send their own children to private schools at least early on. What more does one need to know?

Great staff-- they're good with kids and they show it!! It's an anti-bullying enviroment. Everyone respects each others ability to learn. Organized library and classrooms. I <3 AVS!!!

Small Teacher to Student ratio. Foreign Languages, Art and Music all begin at the earliest grade levels. Part of the Camden Hills School District - the finest in the state.

About the tests

The NECAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Maine. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
