about us PROFILE OF OUR SCHOOL The North Atlantic Regional High School is located in Lewiston, Maine. NARHS is a state-authorized private school, recognized by the Department of Education, and fully accredited by the National Private Schools Association. We assist in designing and delivering a custom-designed program for each student, whether he or she is attending public school, private school, college classes, or homeschool. For homeschool families, parents decide and direct the content of each course, while fulfilling the requirements for each specific high school credit. Once the student has acquired the necessary credits, he or she is eligible for a high school diploma. Students graduate with varying numbers of high school credits according to their ability, ambition, and academic goals. Founded and incorporated in 1989, we adhere to the foundational core curriculum outlined by the state, but allow broad flexibility in fulfilling those requirements under the careful evaluation of our certified staff. Students working on their high school courses are allowed to work at their own pace; there are no speed limits here. Students are allowed to go as fast as they like, or as slow as they need. Our high school program is enjoying an expanding presence in other states, especially among homeschoolers. In recent years, we have been gratified that public schools and other private schools in numerous states have referred students to NARHS. PROFILE OF OUR STUDENT BODY Students may come to us with a mix of public schooling, private schooling, and college work. Most of our students have been homeschooled for at least part of their school careers, but not all. Some students begin working on their high school diploma when they are 11 or 12 years old, some begin college courses as young as 15. Others finish the requirements as adults. For some students, we work with their very first course selections for high school, while for others we work to reconstruct the academic work they did years ago. NARHS graduates have moved into college, careers, and military service (all branches). Some continued the family farm, some went to technical schools, and some became apprentices in other trades. Some graduates continued their academic pursuits at Harvard University, Gordon College, Johns Hopkins University, Julliard, Purdue, and more (see the list below). The list is growing consistently each year. Parents and students enjoy the diversity offered in the academic programs provided under the guidance of our school. Likewise, the school enjoys the diversity offered by such a mix of students. Since each student’s program is custom-designed, there is no class standing or class ranking, but the student’s GPA is calculated to reflect his or her level of academic performance. Although all our students were NOT prepared in the same way, they WERE all prepared for the same thing -- they were prepared for adulthood. The Class of 2002 had 330 graduates. The Class of 2003 had 439. The Class of 2004 had 548. The Class of 2005 had 608. The Class of 2006 had 528. The Class of 2007 had 759. The Class of 2008 has not yet graduated. COLLEGES These are some (not all) of the colleges, universities, and schools to which our graduates have been accepted in recent years. This list changes monthly and shows where some our students have been accepted after high school graduation. Adelphi University Adirondack Community College.
