Customized learning is a student-focused system where kids enroll in the curriculum which best meets their educational needs. Customized learning is not new and, in fact, is at the heart of Maine’s well-rooted educational history going back to the days of town academies.

Customized learning already exists in Maine – why not allow every Maine kid the opportunity?
