30-day free trial · no credit card
Build your homeschool plan from any curriculum you love.
Plan the week, track progress across every subject, and hand each kid a simple portal of their own — without spreadsheets.
Free for 30 days, then from $20 per student per year — or a flat $75/year family plan for 4+ students.
New to this? Start from 60+ grade-by-grade templates.
Each child gets their own login.
Only today's lessons, today's chores, their goals, and their reading log.
120+ community-sourced curriculum resources.
Browse by subject + grade + format. Submit your own with one form, and jump straight to reviews on the homeschool sites you already trust — one tap from any resource. Save any find to a kid's library in one tap.
Track expenses and reimbursements, built in.
Log every purchase with receipts and eligible-expense categories, flag what you paid out of pocket and mark it reimbursed when the money comes back, and print a quarterly or annual report for any reimbursement, stipend, or scholarship program.
Not on one? Keep tidy records for your own taxes instead, since a handful of states offer a homeschool credit or deduction. Arizona ESA families also get award-vs-spend matched to the Jan / Apr / Jul / Oct funding cadence.
A planner. A curriculum builder. A kids' portal.
Three steps from a blank week to a school year that runs itself.
01
Build the plan, your way
Pick the best fit for each subject (a pre-built template, a find from our 120+-resource community-sourced library, or your own workbooks and online programs) and combine them into one unified semester plan. Paste any URL as a lesson resource, define custom subjects, or clone a full year from 60+ scope-and-sequence templates (every K-12 grade × required subject). No single platform is great at everything, so we don't make you pick one. Templates are a starting point, not a cage.
02
Track everything in one place
Lessons schedule on a weekly grid. Time-tracked hours roll up to hours by subject for state reporting. Assessments, goals, observations, reading progress, portfolios: all auto-rolled-up into per-student progress pages, an academic-term progress bar on the Dashboard, and an annual report.
03
Hand off a kid-friendly portal
Each child gets their own login at a separate URL ("My School"). They see only today's lessons (tap a card to read instructions and resource links, tap to mark complete), today's chores (tap to check off), their goals, and their books. Yesterday's missed work surfaces with a catch-up pill.
Built for the way homeschool actually goes.
Plans slip, kids share lessons, every family mixes curricula, and your data should always be yours — four things most planners miss, baked in.
When the week slips, slide it forward.
Missed Tuesday and Wednesday? Bump every unfinished lesson forward by a week with one click. No re-entering, no drag-and-drop. Keeps the day of the week, picks up where you left off.
Plan once for every kid.
Teaching the same unit to both children? When you add a lesson, tick the chip for each sibling. One entry, every child's plan. Curriculum-library finds can be added to one, several, or all of your kids at once too.
One subject, all of them, or just extracurriculars.
HomeStudyPath flexes to whatever scope you need. Track just the math you're supplementing public school with, a full multi-subject homeschool plan across the core five, or only the extracurriculars (music lessons, coding club, sports practice, field trips). Add as many or as few subjects as you want. Define them yourself, or one-click-add a state-required preset (Arizona's five-subject set is built in).
Your data, in your hands.
Download every record in your account (lessons, grades, transcripts, portfolio metadata, expense records, even the audit log) as a single JSON file. Back it up, switch tools, archive at year-end. No lock-in.
Modern tools your old planner didn't have.
Co-parent access, home-screen install, calendar feeds, global search, a real audit log. The table-stakes features homeschool software has been missing for a decade.
Built for two-parent families.
Invite a co-parent by email — both of you sign in with full write access, plan together, and show up by name on the Activity log, so it's never a mystery who edited a lesson. The owner can remove access; either of you can leave on your own terms.
Open in any browser, install anywhere.
HomeStudyPath is a full web app. Sign in from any modern browser on your laptop, tablet, or phone. One-tap install adds it to the home screen on Windows, Mac, Chromebook, Android, and iOS with its own icon, no browser chrome, and an offline-ready app shell. The kids' portal installs separately with its own "My School" icon.
Share to HomeStudyPath.
Once installed, HomeStudyPath appears in your phone's Share sheet. Send any article or video into it and a pre-filled "save to planner" page builds a new lesson with that link attached as a resource.
60+ curriculum templates.
Pre-built scope & sequences for every K-12 grade across Reading, Grammar, Math, Social Studies, and Science. Clone a full year of units into a student's plan with one click, or start with a template and edit from there.
Drag-and-drop + bulk-edit planner.
Drag any lesson card to another day. Or hit "Select", tick multiple lessons, and shift them ±1 day / ±1 week, mark them all complete, or delete them all from a floating action bar.
Syncs to your calendar and inbox.
Subscribe Google or Apple Calendar to a private iCalendar feed of every lesson and break. Opt into a Friday weekly digest or daily missed-lesson alerts. Both off by default, both private.
Find anything in two keystrokes.
Press ⌘K (or Ctrl+K) anywhere. Search lessons, students, observations, expenses, field trips, transcript courses, all at once, grouped by type, deep-linked to where each record lives.
Kids' portal that respects their time.
Each child has their own login at a separate URL. They see only today's lessons. Tap to expand for instructions and links, tap to mark complete, a catch-up pill surfaces yesterday's unfinished work.
Chores in the same portal as their day.
Pick from a 40-chore sample library grouped by category (Bedroom, Kitchen, Bathroom, Pets, Outdoor, Home, Self-care) or write your own. Multi-student fan-out OR round-robin rotation that cycles through the kids, daily / weekly / monthly recurrence, optional time-of-day. Each child sees today's chores in their portal next to today's lessons and taps to check them off.
An audit log you'll actually look at.
Every change is recorded with who, what, when. The Activity timeline lets you click any row to see the lesson title, subject, or grade context, with a one-tap link to the record. The log itself stores no PII; names are resolved at view time.
Self-service password reset.
"Forgot password?" on the sign-in page emails a one-hour reset link. Enumeration-resistant (same response for known or unknown emails), single-use, and existing sessions are kicked out on reset.
Every part of a homeschool year, in one place.
Plan it, teach it, log it, print it. No bloat, no upsells, no fake limits.
Family profiles
A profile per child, each with their own grade level and progress page. Add as many children as your family needs: $20 per student per year, or a flat $75/year family plan once you reach 4 kids. Outside the US? Pick "I'm not located in the USA" at signup; the state-laws features stay out of your way.
Weekly + monthly planner
Mon–Fri grid per student, or switch to a 6×7 calendar Month view for the wider picture. Lessons hold a title, subject, duration, instructions, and resource links, not just a label. Drag any lesson to a different day in either view.
Curriculum unit plans
Lay out an ordered scope & sequence per student and subject, with optional date windows and per-unit completion tracking. Start from one of 60+ pre-built templates (every K-12 grade, every required subject) and clone the whole year in one click, or build your own from outside curricula, workbooks, and online programs you already use. Then hit "Schedule lessons" to fan any units, template-cloned or hand-built, onto the planner across the weekdays and dates you choose, a set number of lessons per unit, in one pass.
Curriculum library
120+ community-sourced resources: Khan Academy, Story of the World, Apologia, IEW, Beast Academy, ReadWorks, Hoffman Academy, Tate Kids, CFPB Money as You Grow, Brave Writer, and many more. Filter by the 5 required subjects, by the broken-out arts/humanities/finance buckets (Music · Art · Finance · Writing · English · History), or by an Extracurricular catch-all. Each resource shows Public / Free account / Paid access + Religious badges before you click out.
Reading log
Three-shelf book tracker (currently reading, finished, set aside) with page-count progress bars per student.
Digital portfolio
Upload photos of artwork, scans, lab reports, essays, organized by student and subject. File keys are opaque (never names).
5-tab progress page
Overview, Gradebook, Assessments, Goals, Progress Records, with color-coded grades and a 4-week lesson trend.
Time-tracked hours
Record actual minutes per lesson. Perfect for hour-counting states. The Annual Report rolls it up into hours by subject.
High-school transcript
Per-student courses by school year, cumulative + per-year GPA on an unweighted 4.0 scale, with a printable transcript carrying your family name as the issuing school.
Field trips
Log museum visits, sports, music lessons, science-center outings, with category, location, duration, attendees, and subject tags.
Daily chores
Assign chores from a 40-chore sample library (Make your bed, Set the table, Feed the pets…) or write your own. Multi-student fan-out OR round-robin rotation that cycles through the kids day by day (perfect for trash duty or dishes). Daily / weekly / monthly / custom recurrence with a live date preview. Kids see today's chores in their portal and tap to check them off. The installable-app icon badge tells them on their home screen when work is waiting, and you can opt a child's device into a morning push reminder so the day's chores arrive as a notification.
Summer break tracking
Add a Summer Break term in Settings and the Dashboard re-skins for vacation: the term card turns orange and tracks days until school resumes alongside how much of the break has elapsed. Keep tracking what still happens in summer (reading log, field trips, chores, light unit-plan work) without an overdue-lesson list nagging you. Slide your school-year planner forward in two clicks when you're ready to resume.
Annual report + printouts
PDF-ready year-end summary. Tick the sections you need (summary card, hours by subject, monthly bar chart, full lesson list, assessments, portfolio thumbnails, transcript) and leave the rest off. Weekly / daily printable lesson sheets and a quarterly education-expense report sit alongside.
Privacy-first by design.
Your child's name never appears in a URL, a log line, or an analytics call. Portfolio files are stored under opaque IDs. Audit-log rows hold no PII, just opaque references resolved in your browser. No third-party advertising trackers, no analytics SDKs, no shared identifiers. No outside vendors get a copy of your family's data.
How HomeStudyPath compares
Every claim about typical planners links to a public source you can verify. We surveyed ten currently-operating homeschool LMS and record-keeping products to build this table.

| Privacy | No third-party trackers. Your children's data stays inside the product. | Competitors' privacy policies disclose Google Analytics and third-party advertising pixels.[8],[9],[10],[11] |
| Year-end report | One click prints the year-end binder: hours by subject, lessons, assessments, portfolio, and transcript in a single PDF. | Reports generate one at a time. No documented all-in-one binder export.[1],[2],[3] |
