Maine Homeschooling

Welcome to Home Education in Maine
Not so many years ago information for new homeschoolers was scanty, the home education marketplace was virtually nonexistent, and support was where you found it. Now, there is a river of organizations, resources, products, information, and opinion. The newcomer to home education, and even the veteran, can feel a bit paralyzed. Our support group gets lots of telephone calls at this time of year from bewildered parents who ask, "What is all this stuff?" -- Earl Stevens.
