Flex Planner
Keep things flexible with a ordered list of assignments. Nothing is tied to a specific date, so students can work through their lessons at their own pace without having to manage a schedule.
Flexible doesn't mean unstructured.
The sequence provides structure while leaving room for flexibility.
One ordered list per class
Lessons stay in the order your curriculum intends. Students work through the list and check off each item as they finish—no due dates, no rescheduling when life gets in the way.
“Up Next” shows you where everyone is
See the next assignment waiting for each student at a glance. Students can move through the same class at their own pace—even when they're working on different lessons.
Choose Flex Planner if…
- You work through a curriculum in order.
- Your kids move at different paces.
- You homeschool year-round or without a fixed schedule.
- A calendar made you feel like you were always falling behind.
Prefer a structured schedule? Calendar Planner puts assignments on specific dates and tracks attendance for you.
What Flex Planner doesn't include
Flex Planner is intentionally built around a simple, assignment-based workflow. There are no calendar dates, calendar views, or calendar subscriptions. Attendance is recorded manually—completing an assignment does not automatically mark a day present.
If you need date-based scheduling or automatic attendance tracking, Calendar Planner is the better fit.
What you keep
- Classes, assignments, and everything you already track
- Grade book with the scales you choose
- Report cards and school year summaries as PDFs
- High school transcripts
- The student app — students work down their own list
- Attendance records you fill in yourself
