MOXIE featured in Maine Biz!

Our search for a home for MOXIE was featured in an article by Maine Biz.

In addition to sharing more about our model and the campus, we were excited to tell the story of our name and it’s roots in our community:

“MOXIE was chosen as a name because we felt it is really rooted in our Maine

community, both in terms of place and community spirit,” said Rabbitt.

The word likely traces back to the Abenaki language, she said, and shows up

across the landscape at places like Moxie Pond, Moxie Stream and Moxie Falls.

“And then there’s what the word itself has come to mean: nerve,

resourcefulness, the willingness to try something hard and stay with it,” she

continued. “That’s the learner we’re designing for and the community we’re

hoping to build — places where young people develop the agency, the

confidence and the skills to navigate a genuinely complicated world.”
