In addition to our great public schools, Houlton also hosts two private schools, including the Greater Houlton Christian Academy, a PK-12 Christian school, as well as the Carleton Project, a private alternative school.
Houlton is home to a vibrant and growing homeschooling community, offering families flexibility, support, and connection. Local co-ops, enrichment programs, and access to public resources like the Cary Library and online learning tools help create a well-rounded educational experience. Whether you’re new to homeschooling or a seasoned parent educator, you’ll find a welcoming network in the Greater Houlton area.
Founded in 1904, Cary Library is a staple of Houlton Maine and offers a wide variety of materials for research, education and entertainment. Our mission is to strengthen our community by enhancing and contributing to individual knowledge and experiences, literacy development and lifelong learning through print, electronic resources, cultural activities, programs and services.
Having grown up in Houlton I didn’t really appreciate how special the schools were until I was living in the city and raising my own family. Once I had 3 children of my own I moved back from Boston to give my kids the same experience I had. A commitment to education in a community that values the individual talents of each learner. I only wish we had moved here sooner.
