The all-in-one
homeschool home.
A live AI tutor that draws on a whiteboard. A curriculum built around the things that actually matter — core academics plus life skills. Compliance, records, and a community — all under one roof.
The demo is free — no signup required. No free trial after that, just one yearly subscription.

Read aloud, get graded
A built-in coach listens to your child read, scores accuracy and fluency, and tells you where to practice.
Ask any question, any subject
A chat tutor that explains step-by-step, in plain language, for any age. Math, science, history, writing, life skills.
Everything a homeschool family needs.
Six pillars, one subscription. No plug-ins, no patchwork.
Live whiteboard tutor
Ms. Vector teaches any topic by drawing on a board while she explains. Real pen strokes, real-time narration, age-tuned depth — and we ship improvements to it every single week.
AI tutor for every subject
A patient chat tutor that explains step-by-step instead of just handing over answers. Math, science, writing, life skills.
Reading coach
A built-in microphone listens to your child read, scores accuracy and fluency word-by-word, and drills the rough spots. Pause anytime — pick up where you left off.
Curriculum that actually matters
Core academics done right — math, science, history, English — PLUS the real-world skills school never gets to. The whole reason you're homeschooling in the first place.
Life skills, built in
Personal finance. Cooking. Home repair. Communication. Time management. Civic literacy. Career exploration. Practical skills your kids will actually use.
State compliance, automated
Every state has different homeschool rules. We track what you owe, when it's due, and prep the paperwork.
Records & transcripts
Attendance, report cards, transcripts, portfolios — generated automatically from what your child actually did this week.
Community & co-ops directory · mentor matching · shared pod scheduling — included in every plan
How it works
Get from “curious” to “teaching tomorrow’s lesson” in fifteen minutes.
Add your kids
One child or five — name, grade, and a few interests. We use it to tune lessons and pick reading material.
Pick what they're studying
Browse our curriculum library by grade and subject. Choose what you want them to learn this year — academics, life skills, or both.
Hand them the tablet
Lessons, reading, tutoring, quizzes — all under one login. You get the records and compliance paperwork as they go.
What it actually looks like.
A real morning, start to finish — so you can picture it before you commit.
- 8:00 am
You pour coffee. They open their tablet.
Each kid signs into the student dashboard. Today's lessons are queued in order — math first, then a life-skills module on budgeting, then the read-aloud passage. You don't have to set anything up.
- 8:15 am
Stuck on something? They ask the whiteboard tutor.
Your 4th-grader can't visualize what 3/8 means. She types it in. Ms. Vector draws a pizza on the whiteboard, shades three slices, narrates it out loud. Two minutes later she gets it — and you didn't have to drop what you were doing.
- 9:30 am
Reading practice with a coach that listens.
Your 1st-grader reads “The Frog and the Pond” aloud. The mic catches every word. He gets stuck on “through.” The session ends with a 3-minute drill on -ough words. By Friday you'll see his fluency score climbing.
- 11:00 am
Life skills, on the schedule.
Twice a week, the schedule includes a real-world module: how to read a recipe, how a credit card actually works, basic plumbing, civic literacy. The stuff school never gets to. The stuff most parents say is the whole point of homeschooling.
- 3:00 pm
The records keep themselves.
When you check the parent dashboard, today's attendance is logged, quiz scores are recorded, and your state's compliance tracker shows you're 4 weeks ahead on hours. You generate this quarter's portfolio in two clicks.
- 5:00 pm
Dinner. Without lesson-planning.
No tabs open. No printouts to file. Tomorrow's plan is already there. The hardest decision left is what's for dinner.
One subscription replaces six.
Most homeschool families stitch together a math app, a reading app, a curriculum store, a compliance spreadsheet, and a transcript generator. Hearthslate does it all in one place.

What we're not.
Most homeschool tools oversell themselves. Here's what Hearthslate isn't— so you know what you're actually getting.
We're not 1,000 hours of pre-recorded videos your kid clicks through. The whiteboard tutor draws fresh lessons live on the topics your kid is studying.
The AI tutor refuses to just give answers. It teaches step-by-step, asks Socratic questions, and makes the kid do the thinking. Boring on purpose.
You still parent. We just take the planning, paperwork, and patchwork off your plate so the hours you spend are the ones that matter.
Two dashboards. One household.
Parents run the household. Kids run their school day. Each gets the view that matches what they actually do.
The command center for the whole household. Manage every child, assign courses, see what they did this week, handle the paperwork.

- Assign courses from the curriculum library
