Mission Statement

The Maine Home Education Association, founded in 1987, is the only non-profit, non-sectarian, statewide home educator's association in Maine.  We are a membership supported association managed by member volunteers.  Our mission is to support the right of Maine families to freely engage in home-based education as an alternative to traditional schooling.  In seeking to fulfill this mission we:

• provide a means of communication among our members,
• monitor legislative and regulatory attempts to curtail home education and provide our members with the information they need to respond effectively,
• publish relevant information about home education resources, practice, philosophy and the law,
• educate state and local policy makers and the public about home education as a responsible educational alternative.

We believe that the best support of our right to homeschool in Maine is a large, diverse and well-informed community of homeschoolers working together to protect our freedom to home educate our children.
