Breakwater School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Breakwater School is an independent, non-denominational, co-educational pre-school and elementary school in Portland, Maine.
The school currently enrolls up to 180 students from preschool to fifth grade, and is launching a pilot experiential 6th grade program for the 2006-2007 school year.
Breakwater was founded as a day care center, named Playtime Haven, by Frank and El Costa in 1956 after their son recovered from a serious illness. As it grew, it moved to a series of different locations in South Portland and Cape Elizabeth, until 1982 when it purchased its current location in Portland. Since then the school has also been given a 21 acre nature preserve in nearby Cumberland which it uses regularly for field trips as part of the school's Science curriculum.
