How it works

Set up in an afternoon.
Use it all year.

Tell MySyllabus what you're teaching and who you're teaching it to. It builds the picture. You just keep it current.

Step one

Add your children.

Start with who you're teaching. Each child gets their own profile — name, age, grade level (or a flexible label if you don't use grades). Add as many as you have. Each one stays separate but visible in a single view.

You can add learning notes to each profile — things like "Eli is a strong visual learner" or "June needs extra time with phonics" — so the context is always there when you need it.

Step two

Choose your approach.

Homeschooling doesn't look the same for every family. Charlotte Mason families organize around living books and narration. Classical families think in terms of grammar, logic, and rhetoric stages. Eclectic families mix and match what works.

Your methodology shapes how MySyllabus presents your content — so it feels like your homeschool, not a generic school system retrofitted for home.

Step three

Pick your curriculum stack.

Browse our library of pre-loaded curricula — the most popular homeschool programs are already structured and ready to use. Select what you use for each child and each subject. It shows up organized, with all its lessons pre-loaded.

Don't see yours? Upload a PDF table of contents or enter your own lesson structure manually. And if you use the same curriculum for multiple children — like a shared history spine — MySyllabus tracks each child's progress independently.

Step four

Set your goals.

What do you actually want each child to learn this year? Not just "finish the book" — the real outcomes. MySyllabus suggests goals based on your curriculum, or you write your own. Each goal lives on a simple three-stage scale: Emerging, Developing, Confident.

Goals live at the subject level and don't reset when you switch curricula. By the end of the year, you have a clear picture of growth — not just lessons completed.

Suggested goals Custom goals Emerging → Confident scale Per child, per subject

Step five

Plan your week.

Open MySyllabus on Sunday evening. Every child's curriculum is already there — organized by subject, with the next lesson ready to assign. Drag lessons onto the days of the week. Adjust as needed. Close the app.

As the week unfolds, check off lessons as they're completed. MySyllabus updates each child's progress automatically, compares it against where you should be in the semester, and flags anything that's falling behind — before it becomes a problem.

Step six

Generate reports
when you need them.

Every lesson you check off builds a record automatically. When it's time for a portfolio, a transcript, a co-op application, or a state filing — you're not reconstructing anything. It's already there.

MySyllabus generates progress reports, annual transcripts, attendance logs, and state-specific compliance packets as clean, professional PDFs — written in your voice, ready to share or file.

Built for how
homeschooling actually works.

🌿
Subjects, not books
Most tools track curricula. MySyllabus tracks subjects. Switch books mid-year, add a second source, use a co-op program — the subject record stays continuous no matter what.
📅
Pacing that sees ahead
MySyllabus compares where you are against where you need to be — per child, per subject — and surfaces the gap before it's too late to fix. Not just "what lesson are you on" but "will you finish?"
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
All your children, one view
Clara, Eli, and June in a single dashboard. Filter by child, view the whole week together, or drill into any one child's progress. Everything in one place — not scattered across separate notebooks and apps.
📄
Records that build themselves
Every check-off is a record. By the time you need a portfolio or compliance filing, you're not reconstructing anything. It's already there — organized, timestamped, and ready to export.
🔄
Handoff-ready, always
Sick day. Spouse stepping in. Tutor on Tuesdays. MySyllabus is the document your homeschool never had — one view that shows exactly where everyone is, what's next, and what's been done.
🎓
Goals that mean something
Not just "finish Epsilon." Real learning outcomes, tracked against a simple Emerging → Confident scale, per child per subject. By year end you have a real picture of growth — not just a completion log.

What families say
after using it.

"Sunday planning used to take me an hour. I'd flip through every book, check every notebook, try to remember where we left off. Now I just open MySyllabus and it's already there."

Sarah M.
Homeschooling 3 kids · Charlotte Mason · NC
"We switched math curricula in January and I expected to lose our whole tracking history. MySyllabus kept the subject record intact. My daughter's progress didn't disappear — it just continued."
L
Lauren T.
Homeschooling 2 kids · Classical · TX
"I was dreading pulling together our year-end portfolio. MySyllabus basically generated it from things I'd already logged. I didn't realize I'd been building a record the whole time."
