Personalized. Adventurous. Affordable.

At UMFK, you’ll do just that with the help of career-focused academics, real-world learning, and a caring and welcoming community — and all at one of the nation’s most affordable universities.

UMFK is happy to collaborate with MSAD 27 for developing The Upper St. John Valley Recovery High School — the first of its kind in Maine for high school students who have experienced substance misuse. MSAD 27 received funding from the Maine Recovery Council to operate the program for 2026-2027 and 2027-2028. The program is based on National Association of Recovery School (ARS) standards and practice. Studies by the Recovery Village Advanced Recovery Systems nationwide network of addiction recovery facilities have found that students who attend these schools have fewer school absences, are less likely to experience a delay in earning a high school diploma, are less less likely to resume substance use and are more likely to remain clean and sober. The Upper St. John Valley Recovery High School is slated to begin serving students in August, 2026.
