Above the water: "It is a place of active learning--of
collaborative individual inquiry. It is a place where it is safe to make mistakes and possible to make a difference. It is a place to preserve childhood and to prepare for adulthood--where rigorous
expectations and playful habits of mind are equally important. It is a place where students of all ages find joy in learning, and come to embrace it as a life long pusuit." -Waynflete.org
On the level: Waynflete is a an elite, if
alternative private highschool in Portland, ME. It is very concerned with fostering free (their) thought and promoting free (depends which side of the aisle) speech. They try so hard to foster diversity and intercultural
understanding, but let's not forget they're in the whitest state in the nation.
It could in other words be termed a liberal minded hippie school in its politics, though a presigious college preparatory day school in its academics. Many will tell you they are glad to be out, but everyone will tell you college is nothing after having had waynflete to get them started.
this is a time specific entry for the graduating classes of and around '03 and other generations ought to give their input as well.
