Center For Teaching & Learning

The Merry Barn

The Center for Teaching and Learning is a K-8 independent demonstration school. Founded in 1990 by educator and Global Teacher Prize winner Nancie Atwell and certified by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, CTL serves a population of approximately 80 students.

Merry Barn Writers' Retreat & Educational Consulting is nestled in the woods of midcoast Maine. Once a working barn and storied dance hall, it is now a wonderful space for teaching and learning. Stephanie Noyes McSherry hosts a variety of experiences for learners of all ages in this beautiful historic building. The Merry Barn and Learning On The Move come together to combine reading, writing, and moving in camps for children and professional development for teachers.
