We are a licensed childcare center that provides care to meet the individual needs of each child in a safe, nurturing, and educational environment.

Founded in 2012 as Maine’s first elementary charter school, CRCS has grown from 60 to more than 300 learners in Pre-K through Grade 12 across three campuses in Skowhegan and Cornville. Rooted in community, volunteerism, and personalized learning, we provide a supportive environment where every learner’s voice and choice are valued. Our dedicated staff customize education to meet individual needs—embracing what we call Mass Customized Learning—so that every student can learn, grow, and succeed at their own pace.
