To home-school a child, according to Maine statute, a parent must notify the state, teach the child for at least 175 days per year, teach the child the basic classes (English, math, science, social studies, physical education, health, library skills, fine arts, Maine studies and computer skills) and assess the child annually. The parents can show the Department of Education that they have assessed their child by presenting a standardized test, a project or a review by a local governing board or certified teacher.
