Extra-Curricular Programs

In addition to our academic programs, Poland Spring Academy also offers several extra-curricular programs as need and interest dictates in order to meet the individual needs of all of our students.

Global Education: The Global Education Program is wonderful. The students and staff involved in the program have traveled to Costa Rica, England & Wales, and this year will be returning to Costa Rica homeschoolers are welcome to join us, parents as well. The trips are designed to make our students aware of the many differences around the world. When the children return from these trips they have a better understanding of other cultures and appreciate all the privileges they have here in the United States.

Wilderness Training Program: This program teaches young people to survive in the wilderness. We include; first aid, CPR training, all terrain vehicle safety, snow mobile safety, how to build a fire to survive, how to construct a shelter, and much more. This course gets the students out of the classroom and teaches them valuable hands on skills.

Carpentry: Students work on various projects including those which will benefit the school as well as those they can take home with them. One of the major projects for the near future will be building a barn for horses and lamas that have been given to the school. The students will also be building window boxes for The Market Square Nursing Home.

Mechanics:The mechanics program focuses on small engine repairs.
