Frequently asked questions

What records should homeschoolers keep?

At minimum, a dated record of what each child learned by subject, plus work samples. Some states also require attendance, test scores or an annual evaluation. Keep whatever your state or program asks for, and keep it as you go rather than at year end.

Which homeschool app makes transcripts?

Learning Corner, Homeschool Hall, Homeschool Planet, Homeschool Panda and HomeTrail Plus all generate transcripts. Homeschool Moment does not.

Can an app write my homeschool progress report?

Yes. Learning Corner writes progress and compliance reports from your logged entries for a date range you choose. Homeschool Moment exports photo portfolios. Always read the report before submitting it.

Is there a homeschool record-keeping app paid for by ESA funds?

Learning Corner is an approved vendor in several ESA and education-savings programs, including Arizona, Alabama, New Hampshire, Arkansas and Missouri. Check your own program’s vendor list.
