Welcome

Two ways to homeschool in Maine. We make Option 2 simple.

Maine law allows two paths: a “Letter of Intent” (Option 1) or enrolling with a REPS (Option 2). As a REPS, Freedom Academy files the necessary paperwork on your behalf — so you can focus on teaching, not bureaucracy.

Why families choose us

Educational freedom, fully supported

We file the paperwork

Instead of submitting a Letter of Intent, you enroll with us — and we notify your school district as a private school, every year.

You stay in control

Choose your own curriculum, approach, and schedule. We never dictate what or how you teach — that freedom is yours.

Private-school status

Enjoy private-school privileges while educating at home, with progress reports, student I.D.s, transcripts, and diplomas available.

Enrollment is open
