Breathe. You’re in the right place.
Starting to homeschool feels like a thousand decisions at once. It isn’t. It’s really four — and you can look at the first two without even making an account. Here’s the whole path, in order.
Find out what your state actually asks
Every state is different, and most are far less scary than the internet makes them sound. See your state's real requirements in plain English — days, records, notices — before you decide anything.
Find curriculum that fits your kid
Answer a few honest questions about your child, your style, and your budget, and get a short list that actually fits — not whatever's being advertised this week. No sign-up, no sales pitch.
Plan a first week you can actually do
Tell us your subjects and how many days you school, and the planner lays out a gentle, realistic week. Life happens? It reflows the rest so a missed day never becomes a crisis.
Keep the simplest possible records
Snap a worksheet or just say what you did, and it's logged. By the end of the year that two-minute habit has quietly become the transcript or portfolio your state or a college wants to see.
The fears that stop most people? Mostly unfounded.
- You don't need a teaching degree — you need a plan and a little structure.
- You'll stay on pace — the planner folds missed days forward for you.
- You won't get the law wrong by accident — we track it and tell you what to file, and when.
- You can change your mind — your records are yours, exportable, the day you need them.
When you’re ready, it all lives in one free account.
Creating an account is what saves your work — your plan, your records, your state’s deadlines, all in one place. It takes about two minutes, and you can look around first.
