Our Campus
WE MEASURE OUR CLASSROOMS IN ACRES INSTEAD OF SQUARE FEET
Maine Coast Waldorf School is located in Freeport, Maine – a picturesque coastal community just 20 minutes north of Portland. Here, the environment is not just a backdrop but an essential part of the learning experience. Our location provides students access to Maine’s breathtaking landscapes from the rugged coastline and beaches, to nearby nature preserves and state parks. Just minutes from the ocean and expansive hiking trails, our students regularly engage in hands-on environmental education, and outdoor recreation, helping to foster a lifelong appreciation for the natural world.
Our campus is situated on 75 acres of fields, woods, and trails, providing ample opportunities for exploration, gardening, learning, and play, throughout the seasons of New England. Whether exploring outdoors for science lessons, tending the gardens, skiing on our groomed trails, or finding inspiration for art and storytelling in our woods, students experience the changing season firsthand.

Living Our Values
Our campus features intentionally designed, sustainable structures that reflect our commitment to environmental stewardship. From our straw-bale early childhood building to our net-zero high school, each space is thoughtfully constructed and maintained to support both learning and sustainability. As the first certified passive house high school in the US, Maine Coast Waldorf School exemplifies cutting-edge sustainable design.
Our high school
Designed by Briburn Architecture in collaboration with our faculty and community members, the high school building opened in 2017. Built to meet rigorous passive house standards, Maine Coast Waldorf High School earned certification from Passive House Institute US and received Maine Advanced Buildings certification from Efficiency Maine—demonstrating that it is at least 30% more energy-efficient than Maine’s minimum energy code requirements.
