Getting started with My Homeschool
Set up your homeschool in a minute, then print a plan and see each child’s next step.
My Homeschool is your home base: your plan for the year, each child’s goals and next step, your state’s checklist, and links into every other tool.
Quick start (about a minute)
- Open My Homeschool and choose Quick start.
- Pick your state and, if your state has more than one, the homeschool option you use.
- Add each child with a first name and grade.
- Choose what you want to do first: plan your year, keep records, start lessons, or find scholarships.
- Make your free account with your email. There’s no password; we email you a sign-in link.
Private beta: creating an account needs an invite code for now. Request one by email. Until then your answers stay saved in your browser, and you can still print your plan; the learning tools, Worksheet Maker, Scholarship Finder search and state rules don’t need an account at all.
Your home base then shows Your first step, matched to what you chose.
The full plan (about ten minutes)
Choose Answer all the questions (or Edit answers later) to write down why you homeschool, what you want to be true when your children graduate, how you teach, your curriculum and your weekly rhythm. Then Print the plan for a one-page Homeschool Plan.
Where things live
- ⚙ Settings: your school’s name and logo, grading, graduation plan, children, reminders, second parent and invite a friend.
- Each child’s card: goals, today’s lessons, and links to their transcript, portfolio and (8th grade and up) college package.
- Your state’s requirements: a checklist to tick off through the year.
