Features

Everything it does,
and nothing it doesn't.

HomeSchoolLite covers planning, scheduling, attendance, and the day-to-day work. No grade books, no transcript builders, no modules you will never open.

Structured schedule

A timed weekly calendar that fills itself in.

Point the scheduler at a curriculum, pick a start date and starting lesson, and each student's week lays itself out with timed blocks in the curriculum's colors. Drag anything to a new slot when the day gets away from you.

Lessons scheduled from any starting point, any time of year
Drag and drop to reschedule a single occurrence
Weekly repeats, one-off events, and events that run past midnight
Edit in a panel docked left, docked right, or full screen

Block schedule

Or drop the clock entirely.

Block mode trades fixed times for an ordered list of work per day. Same curriculums, same students, no timetable. Switch between block and structured whenever your term changes shape.

Ordered blocks per day instead of appointment times
Drag blocks between days to reshuffle the week
Skip a day to pause lessons, or reschedule it to shift work forward
Tick blocks off as they get done

Curriculums

Find a curriculum, then stop thinking about it.

Search the library by title, provider, subject, or grade, bookmark what you use, and assign it to the students who need it. Verified curriculums are marked so you know what has been checked.

Filter by subject and grade, or search across providers
Verified, partially verified, and unverified clearly labelled
Bookmark curriculums to keep your own shortlist
Assign one curriculum to several students at once

Lesson pacing

Start on lesson 34 in February. Nothing breaks.

Every assignment carries its own start date, starting lesson, and the days of the week it runs. Lessons advance across weeks on their own, so picking up mid-year is a form, not a migration.

Sections and lessons listed as the provider wrote them
Choose which weekdays a curriculum runs, and how many sessions per day
Per-student start dates and starting lessons
Lessons carry forward automatically week to week

Attendance

A whole week of every student, in one table.

Mark present, absent, or present (half day) from a single menu, and read the week at a glance. Bulk actions handle the weeks where everyone simply showed up.

Present, absent, and half day from one cell menu

Reporting

Printable records for whoever asks.

Pick a date range, print, and save it as a PDF. Last 30 days, last 90 days, and last 12 months are one click each, or set your own start and end dates.

Any date range up to a full year
Covers all your students in a single report
Prints through your browser, so PDF export is built in
Present, absent, half day, and unmarked days all itemised

Tasks

Kanban boards for the work at hand.

To Do, In Progress, and Done to start with, then add the columns your household actually needs. Drag cards across as work moves, and assign items to a student when they own them.

To Do, In Progress, and Done out of the box
Add, rename, recolor, or delete columns
Drag and drop between columns
Assign a task to a student and they see it in their portal

Student logins

Give each student their own way in.

Create a username and password per student. They sign in to their own schedule, tick work off as they finish it, and move their assigned task cards on the same board you see.

One login per student, created and reset by you
Students see only their own schedule and tasks
They mark work complete; you see it immediately
Preview any student's view without signing out

Dashboard

Where the school year stands, first thing.

Days left in the school year, today's attendance across the household, and each student's schedule for the day. Set your year's start and end dates once in settings and the countdown takes care of itself.

Each student's day, in whichever schedule mode you use

Students

Up to 12 students on one account.

Add each student once with their age, learning styles, and a color that follows them through the schedule. A short setup wizard walks you through your school, your students, and their first curriculums.

Room for up to 12 students in one household
Per-student colors carried across every schedule view
Learning style and neurodivergence noted on the profile
Guided setup: your profile, your school, students, curriculums

Comfort

Light and dark, and it remembers.

The whole app ships in both themes and follows your system setting until you tell it otherwise. Early mornings and late planning nights both get a readable screen.

Follows your operating system by default
Per-device override that sticks
Every schedule, board, and report styled for both themes
