The Mill School will open this fall, September 2013!
We offer a learning community for homeschooling children ages five to ten.
The Mill School will help children tap into their capacity for learning
so they are confident and successful while maintaining a true sense of self.

Located in the newly renovated mill building in Freedom, Maine The Mill School will serve children ages five to ten in a three-day program. The children will spend half of each school day outside. The outdoor environments will provide the roots for the curriculum at The Mill School; they include the falls, stream, pond, forest, wetlands, and adjoining family farm.
The younger children will be given time to focus on the work of the young child: exploration and play. They will also be gently introduced to academics alongside their older peers. Academics will be taught through two one-hour workshops each day. Snacks and lunches will be made from whole, local, organic foods and served family style.
The Mill School will prepare children to be valued members of society by emphasizing critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, adaptability, initiative, curiosity, and imagination.
Children will enter The Mill School with a wide variety of schooling and educational experiences. Some children will have been educated at home, some will have attended independent preschools, and others will have gone to their local public schools. At The Mill School all students will be welcomed into a nurturing home-like environment where they will be honored and supported in their individual growth.
By selecting The Mill School, families will be choosing to have their child participate in a learning community of their peers three days a week. The curriculum at school will complement the education that takes place at home.
