At Lincoln Academy, a residential program brings students from 19 different countries to this small campus in Newcastle, giving Maine students a chance to interact with young people from around the world as part of their education.
Sophomore Grace Canny has learned about the benefits of learning in a community with both American and international students, from the chance to hear about life in another part of the world to the opportunity to experience diverse cultures.
“If anything, this year has taught me that we all have something in common to bond over, whether it’s disdain for a certain school subject, or the love of a favorite sport. I have made friends who I never would have met.”
Grace explores the benefits of blending a multicultural experience with living and learning in Maine in this podcast.
Grace Canny lives in Newcastle where she attends Lincoln Academy.
