What each child knows and what’s next to learn, from their actual progress, not birth year alone.
Homeschool planning, progress, and teaching help for multi-student families
Know where they are. Explore what they’re ready to learn.
Ascendant clears the path with progress you can see, and better options when learning gets hard.
Plan the week, log the day, and see what each child has learned, and what’s next to learn, beside the curriculum you already use.
Open beta · free for households · no card required
The week, the records, and what to teach next often live only in your head.
Homeschool households need to keep records, plan instruction, see progress, and decide what each child should work on next. With more than one child, binders and spreadsheets stop holding that clearly.
- What each child should do this week
- Where that note or photo went
- Hours and high-school records
- What else to try when learning gets hard
Keep the curriculum you already use. Ascendant is the household layer around it: the week, the log, and a clearer picture of what each child has shown so you can adapt what you already teach.
One loop your household can run every week
See · Plan · Teach · Log · Progress, then back to See. When a lesson isn’t clicking, try another way and re-plan.
Plan
Shape the week yourself, or start from optional suggestions based on each child’s progress.
Teach
Run the day from the materials you already use. Ascendant does not replace the lesson.
Log
Hours, notes, photos, and what worked or didn’t, while the day is still fresh.
Progress
What you logged updates the map, so you can see what they’re ready to learn next.
When a lesson isn’t clicking
Teaching Help can show what may be getting in the way on their map and other paths to try.
Keep logging as you go, and you’ll have a searchable year when you need it: hours, portfolios, and parent-built transcripts included.
What Ascendant adds to the week
Planners schedule Lesson 14. Ascendant also shows what your child has learned, what’s next to learn, and options when learning gets hard.
Follows your child
Ahead in one area and still building in another is normal. What’s next to learn comes from what they have shown, not from birth year alone.
A Knowledge Tree of real progress
See what they know, what’s in progress, and what’s next to learn. Skills sit on earlier ones, so when a lesson is hard you can see what may be missing underneath.
Teaching Help when learning gets hard
Teaching Help can draw on their map, recent scores, and notes from the lesson, then offer a supporting skill or another approach.
Use the curriculum you already have
A private household account for multiple kids, shared access for another parent when you need it, and the books you already chose.
- One family account for every student
- Invite another parent to the same plans and logs
- Teach Saxon, Apologia, living books, or your own mix
- Hour and day tracking for your situation (records, not legal advice)
Ascendant works alongside the curriculum you already use. Record the lessons you teach and each child’s progress. With Assistant, use that picture to choose supporting skills and possible next steps. You remain responsible for choosing curriculum and deciding which suggestions to use.
Journal records the week. Assistant helps you decide what’s next.
Open beta is free for households. Most families start with Assistant. Journal is the records product if you only need planning and logs.
