Charter Schools
Maine’s public charter schools are free, public schools open to all students across the state. They operate independently from traditional school districts, giving them the flexibility to create innovative programs that meet the unique needs, interests, and talents of their students. Each charter school offers its own specialized approach to learning — whether that’s through the arts, sciences, hands-on experiences, or individualized instruction — all while maintaining high academic standards and accountability.
We’re so fortunate to be part of this inspiring network of schools that empower students to learn, grow, and follow their passions in unique and meaningful ways.
