Free Resources

Everything on this page is free and stays free. No account, no trial, nothing that expires. We ask for an email so we can send you the transcript. We are not running a mailing list yet, and we will ask you before we ever start one.

The transcript template

One editable transcript, in Excel and Google Sheets. Enter courses, credits, and grades; the weighted GPA, the unweighted GPA, and the total credits calculate themselves. The formula cells are locked so a stray keystroke cannot quietly break the arithmetic, which is the single most common thing that goes wrong with a homeschool transcript.

It is the same transcript that comes in the paid system. Not a crippled version, not a watermarked preview. If it turns out to be all you need, then it is all you need and we are square.

What it does not include: the 131 course descriptions, the fifty state summaries, the portfolio and evaluator forms, or the guide. Those are the Records System, and they are the reason it costs thirty-nine dollars.

Homeschool requirements, all fifty states

Every state and the District of Columbia, free to read, with what you file, by when, what records you keep, what assessment you owe if any, and the statute cited with a link so you can check our reading against the actual code.

We publish these free on purpose. A parent should not have to buy anything to find out what the law asks of them, and the summaries floating around in comment threads are frequently years out of date. Ohio dropped its assessment requirement in 2023. Wyoming dropped its curriculum filing in 2025. Most of the internet has not noticed either.

The credit-counting worksheet

One page. The three defensible ways to award a high school credit, what each one is good for, and the places people talk themselves into a number they cannot defend. Print it and keep it wherever you do your June recordkeeping, which is the month this actually gets used.

Why any of this is free

Partly because it should be. The paperwork side of homeschooling is where families get frightened into buying things, and a scared parent is not a customer we want.

Partly because it is how you find out whether we are any good. Read the state page for where you live and check it against your own statute. If it holds up, you now know something real about how carefully we work, which is worth more than any promise we could make on a product page.
