Create Your Parent Account
The parent or guardian begins by creating the household account. This becomes the family's central place for managing students, subscriptions, progress and account information.
Simple • Flexible • Organized
Homeschooling with a clear path forward.
OpenBook brings lessons, assignments, assessments and progress tracking together in one organized learning environment—so parents can spend less time wondering what comes next and more time helping their children learn.

Learn
New ideas are introduced in clear, age-appropriate language with examples designed to make concepts understandable.
Practice
Students reinforce what they have learned through questions, exercises and activities.
Apply
Assignments give students opportunities to use their knowledge rather than simply memorize information.
Check Understanding
Quizzes and assessments provide feedback about mastery and areas where additional practice may be useful.

Learning That Fits Home Life
Structure without losing flexibility.
Homeschool families don't all live on the same schedule. OpenBook provides an organized learning path while allowing families to decide how that path fits into their day.
Your Schedule
Morning, afternoon or a combination of both—families can organize learning around the schedule that works for their home.
A Clear Learning Path
Students aren't simply handed a library of material. Courses are organized so families know what comes next.
Room to Grow
OpenBook is beginning with Kindergarten and will expand grade by grade toward a complete K–12 curriculum.
An Important Note for Homeschool Families
Homeschool laws and requirements vary by state. Parents or guardians remain responsible for understanding and meeting the legal requirements that apply where they live. OpenBook Homeschooling is being developed as an educational curriculum and learning resource and does not represent itself as an accredited school unless and until such accreditation is specifically obtained and stated.
Ready to open a new path to learning?
Give your family the structure of an organized curriculum with the freedom and flexibility that make homeschooling unique.
