About HomeschoolHelper
Compliance tracking made effortless — for every homeschooling family.
Every U.S. state has different homeschool regulations. No single tool brought those requirements together with real tracking, documentation, and official record generation — until now. HomeschoolHelper is that tool, and it's free for families.
Why homeschooling families need this
These aren't edge cases — they're the everyday reality for the 3+ million homeschooling families in the United States.
Overwhelmed newcomers
Families who pull their child from public school often have no idea what their state legally requires. The information is scattered across DOE websites, legal statutes, and homeschool association guides.
Scattered records
Experienced homeschoolers manage attendance logs, portfolios, and transcripts across spreadsheets, paper files, and email — with no single source of truth.
Silent law changes
State requirements change without notice. Families may unknowingly fall out of compliance when a deadline shifts or a new filing requirement appears.
Expensive document tools
Generating official-looking transcripts, report cards, and certificates requires expensive separate tools or hours of manual design work in Google Docs.
Multi-student duplication
Families with 3+ children must duplicate all tracking for every child — different grade levels, different portfolios, different report cards.
Manual deadline management
Notice of intent filings, assessment submission windows, and annual renewals are tracked entirely by memory or sticky notes. Missed deadlines have real legal consequences.

Our commitment to accuracy
An error in our requirements database isn't a bug — it could expose a family to real legal risk. We take that seriously.
Annual state audit
All 50 states are audited every August against official DOE publications and statutory sources. Our data is version-controlled — every change increments the version number and writes a dated changelog entry.
Confidence badges
Every requirement item carries a confidence level: High, Medium, or Low. Low-confidence items display a disclaimer prompting you to verify with your state's DOE.
Community flagging
Every requirement item has a “Flag an issue” button. Reported inaccuracies are reviewed and resolved within 48 hours.
Instant law-change alerts
When a state updates its requirements in our database, every affected family receives an immediate notification and an in-app banner prompting a compliance review.
