A homeschool planner that keeps the family's records at home.
Homeschool families are perpetually asked to trust ed-tech companies with their children's academic files. They don't have to.
Whether you're following a curriculum, unschooling, or somewhere in between, the paperwork is the same: lesson plans, work samples, attendance, and — depending on your jurisdiction — a portfolio for the annual review. A file per child holds all of it.
One file per child
Lessons, grades, attendance, and portfolio notes. Grows with them. Portable to the next stage — including back into school if that's where they end up.
For the annual review
Print the year. Bring it to the review. The reviewer gets a document, not a login to somebody else's app.
Not aligned to any curriculum, deliberately
Adapt to Charlotte Mason, classical, Montessori, unschooling, or the state's own scope-and-sequence. It's a file — the structure is yours.
What to reach for
Common questions
Does it meet my state / country's requirements?
The file records what's needed; whether it satisfies the reviewer depends on your jurisdiction. Homeschool law is local — check yours.
Portfolio?
Photos of work go in a folder; the planner links to them. The file itself stays lean.
Multiple children?
One file per child, in a shared folder. Simpler than a class management system for a household of four.
Special needs?
Add IEP-style notes in the lesson planner. Whatever accommodations you use — the file records them, privately.
