A public charter school is a school of choice that: costs nothing for tuition, must be open to students of all abilities (no admission requirements, special ed./needs) and is highly accountable.

Originally founded in 2012 as the first elementary charter school approved in Maine, CRCS has expanded to serve hundreds of students from more than a dozen surrounding communities.

The school serves learners from Pre-K through grade 12 across three campuses: Creative Children’s Academy, Dimensions Academy, and Overman Academy.

School Choice is about giving ALL learners options. Maybe CRCS is the right option for your child - reach out to learn more!

Making Minis Leads to Big Time Problem Solving

At CRCS, we transform hobbies into opportunities, pastimes into pathways, downtime into demonstrations of learning. From hiking and fishing to tabletop gaming and cosplay, we challenge all of our middle school/high school age learners to make the jump from consumer to creator while earning graduation credits along the way.

Our school is built around the belief that learning works best when students have agency.

Learners here help design their educational path, practice self-advocacy, and develop the skills needed to navigate a flexible learning environment. Educators guide, support, and challenge—while students take an active role in their growth.

This model isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. It’s designed for learners who are ready to engage, reflect, and take responsibility for their learning.

In a traditional system, even highly capable learners often have to wait for the class to catch up.

However, at CRCS:
🔬Learners move forward when they demonstrate mastery
📚They are not limited by the pace of a grade-level curriculum
📈Advanced learners can continue progressing instead of repeating material they already know

Don't let your child hit the ceiling - keep the ceiling moving! Reach out to learn more or to reserve a spot on the list:

Creepy, crawly, and full of wonder! In our classroom, Pre-K learners explore the fascinating world of insects through hands-on activities like magnifying, sorting, and observing live or model bugs. This engaging approach sparks curiosity, builds observation skills, teaches scientific thinking, and encourages teamwork—all while making learning fun!

We have openings at our early childhood campus (Creative Children's Academy), located at 48 S Factory Street in Skowhegan. Learners must be 4 years old by 10/15/26.

🧭 A quick clarification about our school model:

What we are:
✔️ Free, public, and ungraded
✔️ Focused on personalized learning
✔️ Designed for motivated learners who want ownership of their path

What we’re not:
➖ A behavior placement
➖ A grade level based school
➖ A one-size-fits-all school

Our learners choose this model because it fits how they learn best—and that choice makes all the difference!

Letting kids wear hats encourages comfort, confidence, and self-expression. At CRCS we let leaners make clothing choices that are appropriate for time and place.

It may be something little to the adults, but to the kids, it can make big difference!

What if your child’s school day was designed around who they are—not the grade they’re “supposed” to be in?

At Community Regional Charter School, we don’t organize elementary learners by traditional grade levels. Instead, learners are grouped based on where they are academically, what they’re ready for next, and what interests them.

For children who are still learning to read, the day includes dedicated math and literacy instruction alongside interdisciplinary seminars.

As children become readers who are learning from what they read, more of their day shifts into seminars and electives where academic skills are applied in meaningful ways.

And our seminars aren’t just “one more subject.”
🌎 Math happens there.
📚 Reading happens there.
✍️ Writing happens there.
🔬 Science happens there.
🏛️ Social studies happens there.

Learners might read to research a problem, use math to design a solution, write to communicate their thinking, and draw on science and social studies to understand the world—all within the same experience.

Because that’s how learning works outside of school. The world isn’t divided into 45-minute subjects. Neither is CRCS.
