Suncoast Unschooling Network http://www.seacoastunschoolingnetwork.org
We are an open-minded support group for unschoolers in the seacoast area of southern Maine and New Hampshire, as well as those a bit farther away who are unable to find unschooling support in their area. We welcome unschoolers, relaxed homeschoolers, and those just exploring their options. We are inspired by the ideas of John Holt, and the belief that learning is a natural, innate process. Children can learn without coercion, in an atmosphere of trust and respect.

The North Atlantic Regional High School is located in Lewiston, Maine. NARHS is a state-authorized private school, recognized by the Department of Education, and fully accredited by the National Private Schools Association. We assist in designing and delivering a custom-designed program for each student, whether he or she is attending public school, private school, college classes, or homeschool. For homeschool families, parents decide and direct the content of each course, while fulfilling the requirements for each specific high school credit. Once the student has acquired the necessary credits, he or she is eligible for a high school diploma. Students graduate with varying numbers of high school credits according to their ability, ambition, and academic goals.
