Families value the small-town attention that defines local education. Younger students attend a town-operated elementary program with intimate class sizes, while older learners typically select regional options through RSU 10 and MSAD 44, expanding academic, arts, and athletics choices. Between school events and community gatherings, you’ll find a steady calendar of activities supported by the Town of Andover and the well-loved Andover Public Library, which hosts readings, children’s programs, and local history resources.
Daily life here feels unrushed, whether you’re casting into clear rivers at sunrise, snowshoeing a quiet loop after the season’s first snowfall, or chatting with neighbors at a pancake breakfast. With modest driving distances to groceries, healthcare, and trades, East Andover balances seclusion and practicality. Considering a move or planning your next step in the local market?
