A homeschool record that feels alive while you build it.

Home Scholar replaces scattered notebooks, camera rolls, attendance sheets, and end-of-year panic with one private family record. The app is designed for real homeschool rhythms: back-dated logging, voice-first notes, field trips, projects, co-op days, quiet reading, and the paperwork you only want to think about once.

A living portfolio for every learner

Home Scholar gives each child a beautiful timeline of lessons, field trips, projects, quotes, work samples, and milestones, ready for review or keepsake export.

Planning that respects real homeschool days

Build a school year, choose subjects, track curriculum pace, log retroactively, and keep progress moving without punishing red states when life changes.

Records when you need them

Attendance, hours, courses, grades, transcripts, and compliance-friendly exports stay close at hand for co-ops, state review, high school, or family archives.

The signature model

Four rings for the whole child.

Learn, Explore, Create, and Thrive make progress visible without reducing a child to assignments completed. Closing a ring is a small celebration; the long arc becomes a keepsake.

Learn

Lessons, reading, mastery, and curriculum progress.

Explore

Nature walks, field trips, observations, and maps.

Create

Projects, art, writing, music, building, and making.

Thrive

Wellbeing, chores, service, movement, and life skills.

Private by design

Your child’s story stays in your iCloud.

Home Scholar is built around the privacy boundary homeschool families expect. The app keeps family records on device and syncs through personal iCloud instead of a company content database.

On-device first

Logs and records start on your family devices.

iCloud sync

Family sharing uses Apple’s private sync layer.

Field ready

Capture learning wherever the day happens.

From daily capture to end-of-year proof.

The workflow is intentionally simple: log the moment while it is fresh, watch progress accumulate, and export the record when someone asks for it.

Home Scholar is a homeschool planner, portfolio, attendance tracker, transcript helper, and keepsake builder for iPhone families. It is not an LMS and it is not a legal service; it is the private record system families use to remember what happened and prove what matters.

What is Home Scholar?

Home Scholar is a privacy-first iPhone app for homeschool families to plan learning, capture portfolio evidence, track attendance and curriculum progress, and export records and keepsakes.

Where is student data stored?

Student records live on the family device and, when sync is enabled, in the family’s personal iCloud account. Home Scholar is designed so children’s work, photos, notes, and records are not stored on company servers.

Can it help with homeschool compliance?

Yes. Home Scholar helps families keep attendance, hours, courses, curriculum progress, portfolios, and transcripts organized. It is a record-keeping tool, so families should still confirm local legal requirements.

Is Home Scholar only for one homeschool method?

No. The app supports structured curriculum, nature study, projects, Charlotte Mason narration, unit studies, high school transcripts, and mixed family rhythms.

Build the record your family will keep.

Start with today’s lesson, quote, project, walk, or work sample. By June, it becomes a transcript-ready record and a yearbook worth saving.
