A Clear Learning Path
Subjects are organized into units and lessons so families can see where the student is, what has been completed and what comes next.
Homeschooling gives families an extraordinary opportunity to shape education around the needs of their child. OpenBook is being built to give parents the structure, curriculum and visibility they need—while keeping the family at the center of learning.
OpenBook is being designed to handle much of the structure behind learning so parents can spend less time wondering what comes next and more time helping their child learn.
Subjects are organized into units and lessons so families can see where the student is, what has been completed and what comes next.
The planned parent dashboard will provide an organized view of lesson completion, assignments, assessments and progress.
Review completed quizzes and assessments to better understand what your child has mastered and where more practice may help.
The family account is planned to allow parents to manage individual student profiles while keeping progress separate for each child.
OpenBook focuses on curriculum progress rather than forcing every family into the same traditional classroom calendar.
Families will have a way to contact OpenBook when they encounter technical problems or need assistance using the learning platform.
One of the intimidating parts of beginning homeschooling can be wondering whether you know enough to teach every subject.
OpenBook is being designed to provide the lesson structure and learning sequence. Your role is to guide, encourage, observe and help your child when needed.
Especially with younger children, the parent remains an important part of the learning experience—but that does not mean you need to stand at a chalkboard for six hours a day.
As the OpenBook learning platform is developed, the parent dashboard is intended to become the family's central place for overseeing homeschool progress.
Instead of searching through papers and wondering which lesson was completed, important learning information can be kept together in one organized account.
Families homeschool for many different reasons and live on many different schedules. OpenBook is designed around progress rather than the assumption that every family must follow exactly the same school day.
Complete lessons when your child is most alert and ready to learn.
Families can organize learning around work, appointments and family life.
A flexible homeschool structure can adapt when a family's schedule changes.
Some concepts need more time. Others may come quickly. Learning does not always move at exactly the same speed.
OpenBook Kindergarten is not intended to place a young child in front of a computer and leave them there for the day.
Kindergarten should include conversation, movement, reading together, drawing, counting real objects, observing nature and discovering the world away from a screen.
The computer can organize and deliver parts of the curriculum. The parent helps turn those lessons into a real learning experience.

Parents will be able to contact OpenBook when they have questions about using the website or encounter a technical problem.
Common questions about accounts, curriculum, subscriptions and the learning platform can be answered in one easy-to-find place.
As OpenBook grows, feedback from homeschool families can help identify areas where the platform and curriculum can be improved.
OpenBook Homeschooling is being developed as a curriculum and learning platform, not as an accredited school. Homeschool laws, reporting requirements, required subjects, assessments and recordkeeping can vary by state or jurisdiction. Parents and guardians remain responsible for understanding and following the homeschool requirements that apply to their family. OpenBook can provide educational tools and information, but does not replace a family's legal responsibilities.
OpenBook is being built to combine structured curriculum, flexible homeschooling and useful parent tools in one affordable learning platform.
