Best secular homeschool curriculum for 10th grade in Maine

1. 1Start with 10th grade math and language arts before buying a full bundle.
2. 2Match the program to your child’s current level, not just the grade label.
3. 3Confirm the publisher is truly secular if that matters to your family, especially in science and history.
4. 4Make sure your plan can cover Maine's required subjects: English and language arts, Math, Science, Social studies, Physical education, Health education, Library skills, Fine arts, Maine studies in at least one grade from grades 6 to 12, Computer proficiency in at least one grade from grades 7 to 12.
5. 5Keep a curriculum list and samples in case your Maine records ever need review.
6. 6Avoid overbuying in the first month; routines matter more than a perfect cart.

Look closely at science, history, and literature samples. Some programs are fully secular, some are neutral, and some are faith-integrated even if the sales page is not obvious.

Moderate. Parents choose their curriculum and teaching approach, but they must provide at least 175 days of instruction, cover the listed subject areas, and complete the annual assessment process.

Keep copies of the notice of intent, each annual continuation letter, and each annual assessment until the home instruction program ends. The statute says these records must be available to the commissioner on request.
