The Center for Teaching and Learning, a K-8 independent school in Edgecomb, will hold its spring open house on Sunday, March 12, from 3:30 until 5 p.m. CTL is currently building its kindergarten class for the 2017-18 school year. All members of the midcoast community are cordially invited to tour the school, meet the faculty and ask questions about the program.

CTL opened its doors on Cross Point Road in 1990.  The school is accredited through the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and has state and federal tax-exempt status as a non-profit organization.  Tuition is approximately one-third that of other area independent schools, and generous tuition assistance is available.  CTL serves up to 80 children in five groupings:  K, 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8.

CTL is an award-winning school with a faculty famous for great teaching.  The program is challenging and interesting, the building is beautiful and inviting, and the students are motivated and high achieving.

CTL’s graduates are successful at all kinds of high schools, from Lincoln Academy, Boothbay, and Brunswick; to Waynflete, North Yarmouth Academy, Cheverus, and Maine Girls’ Academy; to Phillips Exeter, Phillips Andover, St. Paul’s, Miss Hall’s School, and Walnut Hill.

CTL is also a demonstration school, training teachers from across the United States through a combination of internships, seminars, published writing by the faculty and professional DVDs.  CTL’s philosophy and methods invite other educators to look with new eyes at what is possible for their schools and students.
