The school
A New England setting for broad, purposeful learning.
North Yarmouth Academy is an independent, coeducational college-preparatory day and boarding school in Yarmouth, Maine. Founded in 1814, it now serves learners from early childhood through postgraduate study while maintaining a close upper-school community.
The school combines rigorous academics with the arts, athletics, languages, service and outdoor learning. Small classes and individual advising give students room to shape a program around both established strengths and emerging interests.

Learning in focus
What gives the school
its character.
Three parts of the school experience that are especially relevant to an international education partnership.
Arts and communication
Visual arts, theatre, ensembles and language study sit within the regular school experience. Every senior also prepares and delivers a speech to the school community.
Learning beyond the classroom
Athletics and the Kauffmann Program connect students with teamwork, environmental writing and outdoor exploration in Maine’s coastal landscape.
The CIC connection
A New England school in CIC’s U.S. network.
CIC presents North Yarmouth Academy among its five U.S. partner schools. Its boarding option, international upper-school community and breadth of signature programs make it a useful example of a distinctive U.S. independent-school model.
As with every CIC partnership, any future local program would be defined with the participating school rather than inferred from this institutional profile.
