From the beginning of new 2015-2016 school year, Maine Central Institute started to get new students from countries all around the world never before represented in our boarding high school community. Serbia is one of them, adding another unique puzzle piece to MCI's cultural diversity mosaic. One of the students from Serbia told our blog about what our school has prepared for him in terms of new experiences.

"This is my first year as an MCI student, and I'm a senior. For me this is a great opportunity to come to study in U.S. I have a lot of new friends from all around the world as well as some locals. The academic program is interesting. What I like the most that homework can actually have a good influence on your grades. So, it gives you more chance to succeed. Back home, in Serbia, you could only get an F for not bringing your homework to school. But here it's different. As for athletics, I've always enjoyed doing sports in my spare time. I played basketball but I've never played American football before. New places – new experiences, I guess. I'm officially a member of MCI Huskies football team. One the greatest football teams in Maine! And, it's a lot of fun to be a part of it."
