The Maine School of Science and Mathematics (MSSM) is a residential magnet high school in Limestone, Maine. MSSM serves students from all over the state of Maine, as well as youth from other states and international students. It is a high school for students in grades 9–12, and its summer program is for boys and girls from grades 5–9. MSSM is an all-residential boarding school with two dormitories and a total capacity of 150 students. The school currently has 149 attending students. After the announcement that Loring Air Force Base would be closed, funding from the Defense Reauthorization Bill provided for the creation of the Maine School of Science and Mathematics at the site of Limestone High School, which was going to lose many of its students upon the closure of the base. The town's elementary school was eventually converted into dormitories for the school, as they are located on the same property. In 2014, the school acquired a new dormitory, dubbed the "Limestone Manor", in the center of town. The building had previously been a nursing home until the business relocated in 2013. Currently, the "Limestone Manor" houses close to 20 students, many of whom are international in origin.〔http://bangordailynews.com/community/mssm-aquires-new-off-campus-dormitory/〕 Chartered and funded by the Maine State Legislature,〔http://janus.state.me.us/legis/statutes/20-a/title20-ach312sec0.html〕 MSSM opened with a pioneer class in 1995. At that time, it was only the eleventh statewide residential magnet school specializing in mathematics and science education in the United States and the only school of its kind in New England. Both remain true today. MSSM graduates attend leading colleges around the country. In 2013, ''U.S. News & World Report'' ranked MSSM #13〔http://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/maine/districts/me-sch-of-science--mathematics/maine-school-of-science--mathematics-8834〕 on its list of "America's Best High Schools," a ranking of public high schools in the United States. The school is a member of the National Consortium for Specialized Secondary Schools of Mathematics, Science and Technology〔http://www.ncsssmst.org/about-ncsssmst/member-organizations/institutional-members〕 (NCSSSMST). == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maine School of Science and Mathematics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
