Lincoln Academy

The school is located in the eastern United States, about a 3-hour drive north of Boston, in the state of Maine. It boasts an excellent environment with mountains and sea, friendly people, and a safe and quiet atmosphere. The school offers multiple AP courses, allowing students to choose according to their individual circumstances, along with a wide variety of extracurricular activities and sports. Teachers are dedicated, responsible, and caring towards students. Tuition includes room and board. Accommodation is excellent, with dedicated kitchens, laundry rooms, and bathrooms. There's also a music room for practicing instruments, as well as recreational facilities like ping-pong and karaoke. Several groups of dorm parents are responsible for managing the children in the dorms, caring for them not only in daily life but also focusing on their psychological well-being. Every weekday evening, there's a fixed study time requiring children to focus on their studies. Every weekend, various activities are organized for the children, such as shopping at supermarkets and malls, or medium to long-distance trips and recreational projects (forest hiking, various summer water activities like kayaking, lobster boat tours, etc.), allowing children to fully experience the atmosphere of a community family. The cafeteria offers Chinese food weekly, including various dumplings, stir-fries, chow mein, fried rice, as well as Western or other Asian cuisines. The school also has a gym, indoor sports courts, outdoor soccer fields, baseball fields, tennis courts, and regularly transports children to the local YMCA sports center for exercise weekly. Children studying here can not only enjoy physical and mental relaxation and focused learning but also connect with students from various countries to build friendships, while experiencing the warmth of a community family. Within the state, there are three top-ranked liberal arts colleges in the U.S., and Boston, not far away, is rich in educational resources. Children are also organized to visit Boston for excursions and experiences every semester.

My child graduated from Lincoln Middle School this year and is now attending UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles).
Two heartwarming things happened when my child just started school. First, during the admission interview video, the admissions officer interviewed my child, and my child said: 'I like the teachers here, I like everything here.' Second, Mr. Abbott, who is in charge of management, created a WeChat group including himself, the dormitory manager, my child, and me, making communication very timely and convenient.
When my child contracted COVID-19, Mr. Abbott reported my child's temperature and condition daily in the WeChat group. This showed his love for the child and understanding for the parents. Every year, the students also reinforce wooden windows for the elderly in the community to withstand the cold winter. My child voluntarily became a community service volunteer.
The school is both warm and strict with its students. It has experienced teachers with doctoral degrees who are passionate about education, and the school pays great attention to international students. My child participated in the school's debate team and math competition team. Upon graduation, my child received the AP Scholar with Honors award for 9 AP courses. The campus has zero tolerance for smoking and drinking; going out requires parental consent, etc. It was incredibly heartwarming for parents; the school arranged a live video feed for me, who couldn't attend my child's graduation ceremony. Happy and confident smiles beamed on every child's face. The most unforgettable memory was the bright smiles of the principal and my child. This is a testament to the power of a good school!
This Thanksgiving, my child, along with classmates from Germany, Italy, Turkey, Poland, Spain, Lebanon, and Vietnam, returned to school to visit and thank their teachers. From this, I saw the precious legacy the school left for the children's growth—responsibility, gratitude, service, and initiative—through everything it invested in their development.
