Elan School is located in the rural community of Poland Spring, Maine.   Elan School has a 33-acre campus on Upper Range Pond which affords a waterfront program of leisure swimming and canoeing under supervision of a qualified lifeguard.

During warmer months, Elan students engage in friendly competition on our soccer and softball fields and participate in weekly physical education classes. During colder months, students are transported to indoor facilities for physical education as well as other indoor activities.

Elan School students reside in two co-educational houses.   Each house is self-contained and is set up to simulate a real home with a kitchen, dining room and living room with a big screen television with surround sound.   Meals are prepared in the main kitchen at Elan by two chefs and are served family style to the students.   Approximately 2 to 8 students share a dorm room.

Elan classes are small (maximum of 12 students) which enables us to individualize instruction.   Elan's   computer lab is equipped with IMacs where literacy in computer applications is taught and Internet research is conducted.   Students do not have access to email or instant messaging.
