Estabrook, a private elementary school, has offered quality, classic education in grades 1-8 for children of Christian families since 1934.
It is governed by an operating school board and is under the supervision of the Educational Superintendent of the Northern New England Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, located in Portland, Maine.
Christian Education seeks to develop a life of faith in Jesus Christ and a respect for the dignity of all human beings; to build character akin to that of the Creator, to promote the joy of service, and to embrace all that is true, good, and beautiful.
We strive for the harmonious development of each child’s spiritual, intellectual, creative, physical, social, and emotional abilities in a safe, nurturing, learning environment.
We seek to foster the enduring foundation of a practical, living faith in Jesus Christ while building excellence in deportment and in scholastic achievement.
