A Good Will-Hinckley Educational Program

The Maine Academy of Natural Sciences (MeANS) opened in September 2011 as Maine’s first high school to focus on the natural sciences. MeANS includes day students from the local region and boarding students from across the state. MeANS is an educational program of Good Will-Hinckley, our parent organization named for George Walter Hinckley who founded The Good Will Home for Boys and Girls in 1889. 

Located in central Maine on several hundred acres of wilderness, organic farmland and river frontage, MeANS uses hands-on learning experiences tailored to a student’s interests, introducing them to careers in farming, forestry, sustainability, alternative energy and other related fields.
