Merrymeeting Adult Education

Merrymeeting Adult Education (MAE) is a cooperative effort combining Maine School Administrative District 75, Brunswick School Department, Regional School Unit 1, Wiscasset Middle High School, plus six other rural communities in Sagadahoc and Lincoln counties. Over the years, MAE has expanded programs and courses reflecting the needs of the communities it serves. Today, these programs include high school completion (HiSET or credit-based), Maine College Transitions, English Language Learners, Adult Basic Education/Literacy, driver education, and workforce development (e.g. Certified Nursing Assistant training). Each year MAE offers dozens of courses. Each spring, MAE celebrates the accomplishments of its high school diploma/equivalency students with a graduation ceremony. Merrymeeting provides low-cost, high quality education to the residents we serve. An adult whose goal is to obtain a high school credential or prepare for college can attend MAE at no cost. Grants provide MAE additional funding for some academic programs. MAE partners closely with Goodwill Workforce Solutions, Maine Dept. of Labor, and other state, regional, and local organizations to provide high-quality training.
