Oak Grove-Coburn School

[2] Coburn Classical Institute, founded in 1828, was a coeducational day high school in Waterville, Maine.

[9] The main building had three sections: The campus also featured a historic chapel (built in 1786), a stable, the "Old Gym," faculty houses, athletic fields, and many miles of trails through the woods, as well as a disused ski slope.

The school, which maintained a Quaker affiliation, was known for its diversity, community atmosphere and close student-faculty relationships.

It was also known for its innovative curriculum, which included Wednesday Program and Project Week, where students took interdisciplinary classes and had opportunities for non-academic learning experiences.

The school made national news in 1979 when students circulated a petition as part of a history assignment asking for a repeal of the Bill of Rights, without naming the Constitution specifically.
