Superintendent approval or equivalent — clear paths, real expectations.
Maine law (20-A MRSA § 5001-A) offers multiple home instruction options including Alternatives A, B, and C
Alternative A: superintendent approval annually; must cover required subjects
Required subjects include mathematics, reading, language arts, science, social studies, health, PE, and visual/performing arts
Alternative C allows families to use a state-approved correspondence school or testing program
Maine expects genuine instruction — the curriculum you choose defines whether you deliver it.
Maine's multiple paths all require real subject coverage, including mathematics
Portland and Bangor are growing tech hubs; marine science and biotech are major emerging sectors
Superintendent approval requires a credible, documented curriculum plan
Chalky Math delivers Grade 1–8 math with built-in tracking for Maine's approval and documentation needs
What Maine requires — and exactly how Chalky Math covers it.
Maine has clear expectations for home instruction, including mathematics as a required subject. A structured curriculum with documentation makes the approval process straightforward.
Homeschool laws change. This is a general summary — consult your state department of education or HSLDA for current requirements.
Meet Maine's approval standard. Exceed its academic expectations.
Maine's superintendent approval requires a documented curriculum plan. Chalky Math's Grade 1–8 sequence — with clear learning objectives and skill-by-skill tracking — gives you exactly what you need to present a credible mathematics program.
Maine requires 875 hours of instruction. Chalky Math sessions run 30–45 minutes and track every completion automatically — making your hours log and progress documentation straightforward.
Maine's growing marine science sector uses AI for oceanographic data analysis and aquaculture optimization. Portland's expanding tech community and Idexx Laboratories' veterinary AI are major employers. Chalky Math connects math to these industries.
Portland. Bangor. Augusta. Maine's economy is diversifying into tech and marine science.
Maine's economy is evolving beyond its traditional industries. Idexx Laboratories in Westbrook is a global leader in veterinary AI diagnostics. The Gulf of Maine Research Institute uses machine learning for ocean ecosystem monitoring. Portland's tech community has grown significantly, with companies like WEX and Tyler Technologies anchoring a software corridor. The University of Maine's research programs in marine science and engineering use AI extensively.
Kids learn to question and evaluate AI outputs — not just accept them as truth.
Probability, statistics, functions — real foundations, not surface-level buzzwords.
Marine science AI, veterinary diagnostics, tech growth — Maine's economy rewards analytical thinking.
Portland. Bangor. Westbrook. Maine's tech economy is growing.
Maine's technology economy is anchored by Idexx Laboratories — a global leader in AI-powered veterinary diagnostic testing — and WEX Inc., a payment technology company. Portland's Old Port district has attracted a growing number of software companies and startups. The University of Maine at Orono conducts significant research in robotics, marine science AI, and advanced composites manufacturing.
Math literacy for Maine kids opens doors to careers in a state that is actively building its innovation economy. From the probability models behind veterinary diagnostics to the data analysis behind marine ecosystem monitoring, the mathematical reasoning Chalky Math teaches connects directly to Maine's most exciting career opportunities.

Maine families. Serious about learning.
“Maine's Alternative A approval process is manageable when you have a real curriculum to present. Chalky Math gave me a clear, documented program that the superintendent approved without questions.”
“My son loves the ocean. When he learned that marine biologists use the same statistical methods as Chalky Math Grade 7, he became genuinely motivated. That connection matters.”
“Maine requires 175 days. With Chalky Math we're well over that just because my kids want to keep going. A curriculum that creates intrinsic motivation is rare and valuable.”
“The AI Foundations module was a surprise — in the best way. My daughter is 12 and now understands how recommendation algorithms work. That's the kind of education I wanted to provide.”
What Maine homeschool families ask us most.
Your homeschool. Your standards. A math curriculum built to match both.
