FAQs

The terms “virtual school” and “online school” are one and the same. No matter which term you use, Maine online school options are available for grades 7–12 throughout the state.

While it’s true that Maine virtual schools and homeschool are similar in that the learning is done at home, free homeschooling is quite different. Parents who choose traditional homeschooling have total responsibility for creating or buying their curriculum. They also serve as their child’s teacher, teaching lessons and grading student work. At an online school, students receive a state-approved curriculum taught by Maine-certified teachers.

No matter where you reside in the state, your student can receive an online education in Maine. Online school students can learn from home or anywhere with an internet connection. Wherever they are, students connect to their curriculum and teachers through an online learning portal. Virtual schools can deliver a high-quality education for grades 7–12, preparing your child for success.

At Maine Connections Academy, students may find a broader range of courses to choose from than what they find at a small brick-and-mortar school. High school students earn an official Maine diploma with the advantage of a more flexible learning schedule, which can empower them to arrange their daily schedule around sports, personal interests, family responsibilities, or part-time employment.
