General Information – Pre Sales
We’re not set up for phone support but can answer questions/help via email. Below is general info on us to help answer questions.
We are independent homeschooling which is not accredited. Only schools are accredited.
We are a platform and curriculum for independent homeschooling. Using our program, the parent is considered the “school” or “homeschool,” and should follow any policies set by your state to homeschool. Parents are the ones to issue credits, transcripts and diplomas to their homeschooled children.
Student accounts are free and include all curriculum. The curriculum can be used part time, full time, or as a learning supplement to current education. We have an optional parent/teacher account that provides curriculum and reporting tools for $99 per year.
We recommend reviewing the following pages on our site for more info:
How It Works
2021-2022 Curriculum
Frequently Asked Questions
Parent / Teacher Account
Homeschool Laws
Feel free to sign up your students in the grades they need to look at the curriculum. We also recommend reading the Help page and Parent/Teacher Guide that’s inside.
Let us know if you have other questions.

New Student Sign Up – Can’t sign up
We can do the sign up for you. We would need the following for each child.

Where do I submit work?
All student work (regular daily assignments) will be given directly to parents/guardians, and we don’t store any work (other than digital worksheets that are part of the system). Parents/guardians may grade/review as they see fit. Not all like to grade for different reasons, but we recommend saving all work for student records. We recommend students write their name, date, day #, and subject on each produced assignment.
Depending on grade level, this is about what you should be getting each day for each subject:
Reading/Lit – the reading log should show: about 60 minutes
Language Arts – A writing piece or presentation
Math – any math practice problems and following along with the video using the Grid Paper
Science – daily notes
History – daily notes
PE – 30 minutes and then enter in the pe log
Visual/Performing Arts – students can take notes or produce an art project

Schools Requesting Transcripts
Using our program, the parent is independently homeschooling and would follow the laws set by their state to homeschool. We are not a school. We are a curriculum. The parent/guardian is the one to maintain any official records or transcripts for their homeschooled children.
If you have other questions, let us know. Thanks, Billie
I Need Confirmation of Enrollment
We are not a school, and are a curriculum. Your state’s homeschool policies/laws should guide you on the proper process. Here’s the link to homeschool policies by state to assist you: https://dev.discoveryk12.com/homeschool-laws

Spelling Quiz Audio Not Working
It sounds like your browser doesn’t support the audio for the spelling quizzes. If he doesn’t see the audio to hear it, then you would need to call out each word and administer the spelling quizzes. The words will be in the same order as shown on the assignment pages.
Or, you may also try a different browser. I believe the Firefox browser works well.
If you need more help, let us know. Thanks, Billie

Problem printing Diploma or Certificate
To print the full diploma or certificate. First make sure that your entire Parent Profile is filled in. If it is not, you’ll need to fill it in and then recreate the diploma or certificate so all of your data populates on it. When you go to print it, in your print window that pops up, you should see a checkbox or option that you can select that says “print background images” or something similar to that wording, and then the border/background will print for you.
We can print it and email it back to you as well, if you still can’t print it. We would need to know the login to access your parent account as if we are you.
