Maine Homeschool Support Groups

Homeschool support groups in your state are an excellent way to gain more assistance and guidance in your homeschooling endeavors. A regional support group fosters a wonderful sense of community among homeschooling families and allows for more opportunities to exchange ideas, plan group outings, and share in the overall experience of homeschooling! While Calvert supports the development of community among homeschooling families, this list does not constitute affiliation between Calvert Education and the groups represented below.

HOMESCHOOLERS OF MAINE (HOME)

HOME’s mission and purpose is to further the interests of the education of children by their parents by all lawful means, including, but not limited to, supporting and assisting families who are educating their own children, disseminating legislative and other information affecting the rights of parents to direct the education and upbringing of their children, and participating in and sponsoring conventions and educational seminars for teaching parents.

MAINE UNSCHOOLING NETWORK

Maine Unschooling Network is a secular blog serving Maine unschoolers. This blog serves several purposes: to give the Maine Unschooling Network’s Facebook group a Web home, to provide a place for community and calendar of events, to provide support and discussion, and to provide a platform to those who would like to share their perspectives on unschooling in Maine, who may not otherwise do so in a public forum. This is not an Unschooling 101 group. New to unschooling folks are welcome, but the work of understanding and embracing unschooling is an individual’s responsibility, and not that of the group.
This blog is welcoming and supportive of unschoolers of all ages, small children, teens, parents, grown unschoolers, parents of grown unschoolers, newbie unschoolers, family, and unschooling allies.
