Top 10 homeschool planners and planner apps (2026)

• Best for a family that wants one full planner
• Paid

An online planner that keeps home, school and work schedules in one calendar and reschedules assignments when plans change. Grades, attendance, report cards and transcripts are built in, and the site lists a lesson plan marketplace with over 4,000 publisher plans and an app that shows each student's daily plan with check-off boxes.

Single family plan is $84.95 a year or $9.95 a month; a teacher with up to 5 students outside the household is $119.95 a year (as of 2026-10-27). 30-day free trial, no credit card.

Watch for Paid after the 30-day trial, and the family plans are for one household; a teacher with students from other homes needs a teacher or co-op plan, which cost more.

• Best for families who want to own and build their own system
• Free

General tools that many families use as a homemade planner. Google's Sheets page says anyone with a Google Account can create spreadsheets, that you can work offline, and that it never uses Sheets content for ads. Its Calendar page describes shared calendars and colour-coding, which can give each child a colour.

Sheets is described by Google as free to create and edit online with a Google Account; some Gemini features need a paid Workspace plan.

Watch for Nothing is homeschool-specific: you build the lesson lists, attendance counts and any rescheduling yourself, and you need a Google Account.

• Free plan, paid upgrades
