Introduction
Dear Parents and Students, The information contained within the Academics portion of our website illuminates the significant depth, breadth, and diversity of opportunity provided by our curriculum for our community of learners. A pioneer in the State of Maine in the adoption of a standards-based curriculum and grading system, Foxcroft Academy strives to articulate clearly the rigorous learning standards that we expect all students to meet and the methods for students to achieve success. The Academy’s required combination of course credits, learning standards, and community service is designed to instill in our students the knowledge, skills, and habits of mind that will best ensure their development as valued and valuable global citizens in the 21st century. Through the process of adopting and developing our standards-based program, we have learned that the de-mystification of our educational process places increased responsibility on our students, with the help of their parents, teachers, and administrators, to plan early and with great care the particular path that they will navigate in order to earn their Foxcroft Academy diploma. Please study this academic information, focusing on the descriptions of our courses, learning standards, graduation requirements, and recommendations for post-secondary academic preparation. Details on course enrollments and outcomes are recorded on the student transcript. Our courageous mission to provide a comprehensive array of opportunities for our students demands active involvement and thoughtful choices from all members of our community. We strongly encourage you to ask us questions along the way, and are happy to answer them in person, over the phone, by letter, or via e-mail. We hope that the educational experience at Foxcroft Academy will be but a prelude to life-long learning, fulfillment, and success. Sincerely, Jonathan Pratt
