Requirements & Forms (Maine)
As mentioned on the PDF Homeschool Requirements form at the button above, a letter of intent form is required each year. We offer three form options below. The first is the online form for Maine Department of Education. The second is the printable form from Maine DOE. The third includes forms through HOME (Homeschoolers of Maine). The online and printable forms available at the Maine DOE exceed the requirements of the law and ask for more information than homeschoolers are legally required to give. You may use these or as HSLDA (Home School Legal Defense Association) recommends, use the forms from HOME, which do not exceed Maine law and help preserve homeschool freedoms. Read more from HSLDA.
