For co-ops and tutors

For co-ops, tutors and small programs

A co-op or a tutor teaches other families' children on fixed days, keeps a record per child, and needs the right people to see the right children. That is a family planner with roles and a calendar of class dates.

In short

The Homeschool Up Co-op plan covers 10, 25 or 50 children with four roles: owner, parent, tutor and viewer. Tutors see and record only the children assigned to them. Classes can meet on generated dates that you cancel individually, and every child keeps their own attendance, hours, grades and transcript.

The problems in a co-op or tutoring week

Classes that meet on set dates, with the odd week canceled for weather or a holiday, and a record that should show which.
Several adults teaching, each of whom should see their own children and no one else's.
Families who want to know what happened in class, and a coordinator who wants the record in one place.
A roster that grows mid-year.

How Homeschool Up handles each one

A subject can meet on dated sessions instead of weekdays: pick the weekdays and the date range and the dates are written out. Cancel one with a reason and it stays on the record as canceled; a completed class cannot be deleted.
Roles: the owner and parents manage children and subjects, tutors record for the children assigned to them (enforced in the database as well as the app), and viewers read only.
Each lesson is ticked with optional minutes, a rating and a note, so the record for each child shows what was taught and how it went.
Bands follow the roster. Adding a child past the band moves the plan up at once, prorated; archiving below it moves it down at the next renewal, never mid-period.

What it is not

Homeschool Up is not a registration, payments or messaging system for a co-op, and it does not give children their own logins. It is the teaching record: who was taught what, when, and how it went, with reports per child.

Questions people ask

What does the Co-op plan cost?

Co-op starts at $19.99 a month for 10 children, with bands for 25 and 50 children and yearly prices on the pricing page. Every plan starts with a 15-day free trial.

Can a tutor see other families' children?

No. A tutor sees only the children assigned to them, and that rule is checked by the database itself, not only by the screens.

Can parents in the co-op see their own child's record?

A viewer reads the whole account without changing anything, which suits a coordinator or a co-teacher. Families who should see only their own child are better served by their own family account.

Do children get their own logins?

No. Homeschool Up has no accounts for children; the adults keep the record.

Can I get my records out?

Yes. Settings, Your data downloads everything as a JSON file: children, school years, subjects, sequences, recorded lessons, log entries, grades, books and expenses. Any sequence also exports as a CSV from its own page.
