Brighton Corner

Both of my children went to Reiche. I don't usually post reviews online, but after seeing the horrible rating on this site, I felt compelled. The teachers are incredible: hardworking, intelligent, creative, and caring. They are so good at building community in an amazingly diverse school for Maine. The international potluck will rock your tastebuds and the talent show will have you weepy at least once. I am a teacher in one of the rich suburban schools nearby and am so glad my kids went to Reiche!

When I went to this school, I felt connected to my peers around me and teachers would always be there for you even if they were going through a rough time on their own. There were many fun activities such as movie nights and engaging field trips, allowing the child brain to develop new skills in different subjects (social and academically). I spent all K-5 here and it was amazing so I would definitely recommend this school to parents.

Our three kids have had an exceptional 1.5 years thus far at Waynflete and we have excellent things to say about the teaching staff, administration, and culture that has been built at the school. Every teacher is intensely committed and focused on seeing students not only grow from an academic perspective, but also as a person - developing the skills necessary to navigate the evolving world around us. Each teacher our kids have had thus far are true educators who are committed to seeing their students succeed AND working with parents and the administration to make sure there is a true team supporting the development of the student. As a result of this, Waynflete has developed a culture that balances both excellence and psychological safety, while focusing on the whole child. There are very few schools in Maine that have the resources and passion to pull this off, and Waynflete is certainly in the top of that group.
