Spotlight On EDUCATION

Activating Opportunity Close to Home A historic center of manufacturing and commerce, the Auburn and Lewiston region is also home to a dynamic set of educational institutions with programs ranging from pre-K to Ph.D. and nearly everything in between. A key to developing a vibrant workforce and thriving economy is a robust educational ecosystem that can address the varied and ever-changing needs of the community - meeting people at the right point on their journey as a learner. Our educational offerings extend from Head Start and private preschool facilities to first-rate public and private K-12 schools to post-secondary institutions that educate nearly 6,000 students each year. Convenient local access to premier educational programs allows those who call the region home to activate careers and unlock opportunities within a short walk or drive from home. For lifelong learners, courses are always available to acquire a new skill or explore a new hobby. Our community’s

“can do” ethos also brings our educational institutions together, fostering collaboration between schools, colleges, and universities. Undergraduates are often working in K-12 classrooms or conducting public interest research projects with local non-profit organizations.

Besides their core educational missions, our schools and colleges also attract thousands of visitors to the region each year to enjoy arts and cultural events, museum exhibits, lectures, and exciting athletic contests.

For local residents, there’s always something to see, to do, and to learn on the many campuses across the Twin Cities of Lewiston and Auburn.
