About Us
Our Mission
NELC exists to offer support to homeschool students, and those in traditional education settings. We specialize in homeschool offerings for students first through eighth grades. One day a week we host a homeschool "school" day, where parents can bring their children for a day of learning in ELA, math, science/STEM, and art/music.
In addition, we offer homeschool courses two days a week in varying subjects, such as: narrative, persuasive, and informative writing; math strategies in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division; Maine Studies Courses; Science, STEM; and Pre-K/Kindergarten literacy courses.
Our goal is to support students and parents academically in any way we can. If there's a course or topic you don't see listed, but are interested in, please reach out!
