TheHomeschoolingCompany - Hyper-Personalized Curricula for Homeschoolers
I was homeschooled because public school bored me. During those years, I built my own educational tools to learn what actually interested me, at a pace that worked for me. Now I'm scaling that for other families.
What it is: AI-generated curricula tailored to each student's interests, goals, and learning style. Not "AI tutoring" bolted onto a standard curriculum: the entire curriculum is generated from scratch for each learner.
Why it's different: Traditional homeschool curriculum companies sell you the same pre-packaged content they sell everyone else. We generate curricula spanning 35+ subjects—including things like "1960s Rocketry" or "Roman Military Engineering"—that don't exist anywhere else because they're built on-demand around what a specific kid actually cares about. We do standard subjects too, "Algebra", "Electrical Engineering", "Political Science", all tailored 1:1 to the goals and interests of every kid.
The bet: Homeschooling is growing 10%+ annually post-COVID. Parents want personalization but lack time to build it themselves. LLMs make true 1:1 curriculum design economically viable for the first time.
Currently in early access. Looking for feedback from parents or anyone who's thought about education from first principles.

My daughter has been home educated for 4 years now. It started as a worldschooling year during which we had to design our systems and curriculum around the worldwide travel. But the outcomes were so good that we decided to stick with home education even after coming back home.
So I am speaking from experience when I say that you are solving the right problem: curriculum choice and design account for 50% of the challenge in home education in my opinion (the rest is execution).
The one page that best describes the product is the pricing page. So I am looking at your pricing page, and here is my unfiltered feedback:
You seem to make a "subject" the main pivot or unit of curriculum planning. At a tactical level, it makes sense, but as a home schooling parent, I really want a higher level problem solved: what is the curriculum pathway across all subjects that will a) align with my child's interests, keep them engaged and develop a love of learning, b) GET THEM INTO COLLEGE, c) satisfy the local regulations along the way, d) leverage cross-subject interdependencies (e.g. reading The Florentines in ELA while studying the Rensissance in History)
To that end, my holy grail would be to enter her interests and current grade, my locality, and a set of target colleges / degrees of interest, and have the system create an end-to-end, multi-subject, multi-year plan to get there. Planning per subject is useful, but it still leaves most of the hard work to me.
Progress tracking is useful, but it is a vitamin, not a painkiller. If someone is as engaged in their child's education as to think in terms of custom curricula, they surely have the tracking bit figured out. One aspect that would be helpful is to suggest any standardized testing that may aligh with college requirements per subject (e.g. AP or A-Level exams)
Tactically, I am not sure the monthly pricing makes sense. The minimum period I think about during curriculum planning is a school year. I am not going to be planning/changing the plan on a monthly basis. Even better, coming back to #2 above, a flat, one-time fee to the entire multi-year roadmap would make sense.
Also, here is one side-idea for consideration. The curriculum planning concept extends well beyond homeschooling of kids. As a lifetime learner myself, I would love to have a curriculum-planning tool available for whichever topic I want to explore next. I believe the need is there - e.g. look at how many folks are sharing AI-learning pathways on LinkedIn.
Great idea, I will be following your progress!
This is a really thoughtful approach to a problem most edtech founders gloss over — personalization beyond buzzwords. Homeschooling families don’t just want content, they want contextually relevant guidance that fits real learning goals, pacing, and interests. That’s way more meaningful than generic “adaptive learning.”
A couple things that stood out to me:
Grounding the curriculum in individual learning goals (not just grade levels) is huge — it respects why parents choose homeschooling in the first place.
Your focus on usable outputs (what students actually do or make) instead of just content consumed can become a real differentiation — especially if you make that visible early in user flows.
One question I’d love to hear your take on: as you scale personalization, how are you thinking about the feedback loop from performance → suggestions → next steps? That’s where engagement and retention start to compound. The threads between what a student did, what they struggled with, and what they should do next are what make a curriculum feel truly tailored.
If you ever want to bounce ideas on wiring early analytics or UX patterns that help clarify next steps for users, happy to chat. These kinds of design decisions early on can make a massive difference in activation and retention.
