Deck House School
Edgecomb, ME

The Deck House School is pleased to announce the transition to a year round school. Starting this summer Deck House will offer a full-length summer trimester as part of the regular school year. During this trimester, students will carry a full class load and participate in both community service and co-curricular programs. Due to the wide variety of natural resources in the mid coast region of Maine, staff expect to have more opportunities for educational field trips. Students will be welcome to join for just a summer or to use the summer trimester in conjunction with the traditional school year.

"We have been talking with some of you as we design a trimester that will best serve our student's needs," explained Tom. "If you have any thoughts or suggestions as we put the finishing touches on our schedule, please do not hesitate to give us a call. We will be following up with more information shortly."

You may obtain more information at their website www.deckhouseschool.org. If you have any further questions or would like to discuss a placement, please call Tom Blackford or the Assistant Headmaster Melinda Browne at 207-882-7055.

Deck House School is a small residential high school for 12 boys who had difficulties in more traditional academic settings. These are boys who, although they do not need a therapeutic setting, will benefit from being a member of a small and supportive learning community. Students and staff work together to create a community that builds positive relationships and encourages social, emotional, and academic growth.
