Homeschool Planet Frequently Asked Questions
About Homeschool Planet
Homeschool Planet is an online homeschool planner that organizes your whole household — not just school. It keeps lessons, assignments, grades, attendance, and reports in one place, alongside everything else a family juggles: chores, activities, work schedules, and appointments. That whole-household view is what sets it apart from a school-only planner. One account covers every member of your family, each with their own schedule, and it adapts as your needs change.
Yes. Every family starts with a free 30-day trial — full-featured, no credit card, and no commitment — so you can be sure Homeschool Planet fits your family before you pay anything. Your trial also comes with one free lesson plan, so you can watch a plan drop assignments straight into your planner.
Homeschool Planet works for every grade, from preschool through high school — including transcripts and GPA tracking for the high school years. One subscription covers every student in your family, whatever grade they’re in.
One subscription covers your whole household — no extra charge per child. Each student gets their own schedule and assignments, and you manage everyone from a single parent account.
Homeschool Planet builds the records homeschoolers actually need: attendance, class hours, class notes, course descriptions, and assignment lists, plus grade reports, report cards, and transcripts. Print any of them or save them for your records.
Yes. You can print daily or weekly assignments, and Homeschool Planet can automatically email daily or weekly digests to you and to each student.
Yes. Every student in your household can have their own login and see just their own assignments and schedule, while you keep the full family view.
Yes. Homeschool Planet has free apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android — download them on the App Store or Google Play to check off assignments and stay on track from anywhere. On a phone you’ll see your schedule a day at a time; on a tablet, a full week.
Yes. Homeschool Planet works with any standard ICS (iCalendar) feed, both directions — subscribe to your Homeschool Planet schedule from Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook, and bring your other calendars into Homeschool Planet so the whole family’s week sits in one place.
Subscribing & Pricing
You can start a Monthly Subscription or an Annual Subscription at any time — during your trial or after it ends. The annual plan adds annual-member benefits; both cancel anytime before your next renewal.
Homeschool Planet is $84.95 per year or $9.95 per month, and one subscription covers your entire household. Teachers, co-ops, micro-schools, and schools have their own licenses — see “Do you offer licenses for teachers, co-ops, or schools?” below.
We offer a free 30-day trial with no credit card or commitment required, so you can make sure Homeschool Planet is a good fit for your family. Because of the trial, we don’t offer refunds — but you can cancel your subscription anytime before your next renewal is due. Lesson plans and curriculum are not returnable.
In many states, yes. Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) and other state scholarship and funding programs can help cover Homeschool Planet along with our curriculum and lesson plan packages. Which programs qualify changes often as states update their rules, so instead of listing them here, we keep the current programs — and a dedicated ESA specialist who works directly with you — on our Education Savings Accounts page. Start there, and our specialist will help you put your funds to work.
Yes. Homeschool Planet was designed by homeschoolers for homeschoolers, and it’s grown to serve teachers, co-ops, micro-schools, and small schools too. Beyond individual and family subscriptions, there are single-teacher licenses (for up to 5, 10, or 25 students outside your household), micro-school and co-op licenses (up to 12 or 25 students), and a school license (up to 40 students). See all license types and current pricing for the full breakdown, or email support@homeschoolplanet.com and we’ll help you choose.
Nothing you set up goes to waste. When you move from the free trial to a paid subscription, everything you’ve entered carries over automatically. And if a subscription lapses, we hold your data for 12 months in case you return — and any lesson plans you purchased can be restored even after that.
Lesson Plans & the Marketplace
Yes. The Lesson Plans & Curriculum Marketplace has over 4,000 plug-in lesson plans from publishers homeschoolers know — including Institute for Excellence in Writing, Notgrass History, BJU Press, The Nomadic Professor, Memoria Press, Beautiful Feet Books, Berean Builders, and Demme Learning — and many more. Each plan drops assignments, notes, and links straight into your planner.
Yes — plug-in lesson plans run inside Homeschool Planet, so they work as part of an active subscription. If your subscription later ends, you keep limited free access to any plans you’d already applied to a calendar, so your completed planning isn’t lost.
Lesson plans are purchased separately from the Marketplace — they’re optional add-ons, not part of the subscription price. The one exception is your free trial, which comes with one free lesson plan so you can try the experience firsthand.
No. A plug-in lesson plan you buy covers every student in your household — assign it to as many of your children as you like.
Yes. Once a plan is in your planner you can move dates, edit or reschedule assignments, skip days, and adjust it to fit your family. It’s a starting point, not a fixed script.
Plug-in lesson plans aren’t downloadable files — they’re built to run inside Homeschool Planet, where they schedule assignments into your planner for you. That’s also what lets them flex around your calendar instead of sitting as a static PDF.
