School on the Homestead
Add each child, plan their lessons by the day, and check them off as they go — hours, school days and reading lists add up on their own. Older children can have their own sign-in to see just their lessons and check off their work. When you need it, print a yearly report or a high-school transcript with credits and GPA. Homeschool laws differ from state to state, so set the hours goal to match yours. “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” — Proverbs 22:6
