“You can’t imagine how nice teachers are. They helped me both in study and life and encouraged me when I felt bad. They made me want to go to school everyday!”

“Orono is one of the safest towns in the United States, so I always feel safe in here. Orono High School has very awesome activities every week. For example, we went to the Boston last week. These activities help students to release stress and have fun. Finally, the faculty is very smart and passionate. They are all proud of their job and try their best to help students.”

– Kwangmin Kim

 

 

 

 

 

We are accepting applications from international students who would like to spend their Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, or Senior year studying at a premier public high school. (That’s grade 9, 10, 11, or 12–generally, ages 14-18.) Our program is designed to give students an early college experience and to expose them to life as an American high school student. Carefully designed course schedules; a safe environment; interaction with the local community; opportunities for volunteering; and many options for participating in the arts and athletics make Orono High School a great place to be. For more information, contact our Director of the International Program, Ms. Erika Dixon at admissions@rsu26.org.

 

 

WHO CAN APPLY?

Students who want to study in America for one year for grade 9, 10, 11 or 12 can apply to Orono High School. If you apply for grade 12, you are eligible to graduate and receive an Orono High School Diploma.  If you apply for grade 9, 10 or 11, we will help you transfer to a private high school after 1 year, or you can return home.  Each year, many of our international students continue their studies at a US university or college, some taking advantage of our partnership with nearby University of Maine. We offer individual college counseling.
