Built something to help combine curriculums, scheduling, and compliance
Not sure how to post this since it's going to feel like an advertisement, but wanted to share something my wife (previously teacher for 7 years) and I (software engineers) built that can help others with the tediousness of Home Schooling.
Key differentiators:
- Not AI Slop – I've built sites and experiences for ESPN, PUMA, World Wildlife Fund, and Coinbase. I care about UX and design and that is reflected in the quality and visuals. Also, this is a website/app you access via any browser or device; it's not a mobile app (nothing to download).
- Curriculum Freedom – We like The Good and the Beautiful curriculum but found it lacking in social studies. So, we cloned that curriculum and added in some Charlotte Mason and other workbooks and were able to see what school weeks look like while also seeing the how it affected our school year end date.
- Compliance and Gaps – Pulls in your curriculum, fetches requirements and action items based on your state/county, and drafts emails for who to send to what county administrator. Gaps in your curriculum (either in subjects or hours taught) are called out making reporting and compliance a breeze.
- Predictable Weeks – Most online programs become homework where you have to report work as complete, skipped, incomplete, etc. With ours, if you miss or skip a day, you can decide to double up the next school day or simply shift the entire schedule for that subject/resource back a day. Or you can get ahead and the schedule automatically moves up or stays the same. Custom holidays, field trips, or "I don't feel like doing this today" all work as you'd expect.
- Reports – Tracks attendance (some states and counties require this...), hours per subject, formatted to submit when requested.
Free to use forever with premium features (like report card/tracking, multiple students, state and county compliance and pre-made drafts, etc.) are $29/year.
The goal is not that it becomes another app that creates more work for parents. It's perfect for people who want to use an existing curriculum and/or combine it with other resources/workbooks, etc. and want to know what a typical week would look like -- all while having the regulatory compliance and emails drafted for you and who to send them to.
