Originally founded by Free Will Baptists, Maine Central Institute was incorporated for the purpose of preparing students for Bates College in Lewiston, which was a seminary at that time.
Through the years MCI has established itself as a highly respected private school for students in grades nine through postgraduate, serving all high school age students from Pittsfield, Detroit and Burnham, as well as students from around the country and around the world.
