Advanced placement Summer Institute Portland Headlight, a half-hour away, is purported to be the most photographed lighthouse in the country. “ My experience was very positive. The campus is breath-takingly beautiful, pristine and very welcoming … This was exceptionally well run. ” - Nancy Jo Hitchcock Onondaga High School, N.Y. Campus Life Saint Joseph’s College is located on 350 acres overlooking Sebago Lake, one of Maine’s most beautiful spots. The campus itself is easily navigated on foot: scenic paths connect campus buildings, and a brisk five-minute walk will take you anywhere you need to be. A hilly descent to our own private sandy beach opens on a panoramic view of the lake with the White Mountains as a backdrop on the horizon. On campus, such social activities as a nightly Bistro with a cash bar in the Student Lounge in the Alfond Center will be offered. A real Down East “Lobstah Bake,” complete with steamed clams, corn-on-the-cob and strawberry shortcake, takes place Thursday evening and is included in the tuition fee. Evening bus excursions to Portland and Freeport (home of LL Bean) may be offered if there is sufficient interest. The Alfond Recreation Center offers a wide variety of sport and exercise options: indoor track, Nautilus weight machines, free weights, cardiovascular machines, swimming pool, and basketball courts. The center also houses lounges and public areas suitable for studying and socializing. The college has a small beach on Sebago Lake and walking trails. So prepare to enjoy the Maine summer during the Advanced Placement Summer Institute. 2

Those choosing to live off campus also are responsible for arranging for their own breakfast and dinner each day, or may purchase meals at Bon Appétit. Overall, I had a great experience, and would recommend St. Joe’s institutes to my “ colleagues, and the school to my students. The food was fantastic. The rooms were very nice ... the classrooms were great! ” - Bill Conners, St. Joseph’s Prep, Pennsylvania 3
