For working and single parents
Homeschooling while you work
The question is almost never whether you care enough. It is whether the four hours a day that curriculum assumes you have actually exist. Most programs are written for an adult who is free at 10am, and if you are working a shift, on a call, or the only adult in the house, that adult is not you.
The instruction does not wait for you
Clara is a teacher built into every lesson. She introduces the idea, asks questions, reads the answer, and explains what went wrong when it goes wrong. That is the part of the day most curricula hand back to the parent, and it is the part that has to happen while you are at work.
Any hour is a school hour
Nothing is timed and nothing is scheduled. A child can do two lessons before you leave and one at seven in the evening, or four on a Saturday because Wednesday fell apart. There is no live class to miss and no session to book.
The record keeps itself while you are not looking
Instructional hours log as your child works, mastery is tracked per skill, and a transcript prints in one click. You are not reconstructing the week from memory on a Sunday night, which is where most working homeschool parents actually give up.
You can check the day in about two minutes
From the parent side you can see what was worked on, what was mastered and what was struggled with, and open any lesson to read the whole conversation between Clara and your child in the order it was said. Reviewing the day is reading, not re-teaching.
One price, every child, cancel in one click
$29 a month covers every child in the household. There are no per-child seats to add when the second one starts, no annual contract, and cancelling takes one click from the billing page.
What this is not
- It is not childcare and it is not supervision. A young child still needs an adult in the house, and this does not change that.
- It is not fully hands-off. Expect to spend real time each week reviewing progress and sitting with whatever your child got stuck on. Less time than teaching, not zero time.
- Younger children need more of you, not less. Below roughly third grade, a child who is still learning to read cannot run a lesson alone.
- There are no live classes, no scheduled teacher and nobody to call during the day. That is the trade that makes the flexibility possible.

Questions parents ask
Can I homeschool while working full time?
Many families do, and the deciding factor is usually the age of the child rather than the hours you work. An older child can work through self-paced lessons with a teacher built in and no schedule to keep, while a child below about third grade still needs an adult beside them for most of it.
Does my child need me there for the lesson?
For the instruction itself, no. Clara introduces the concept, asks the questions and explains wrong answers. You review afterwards, which takes a couple of minutes rather than an hour.
Are there live classes at set times?
No. Nothing is scheduled and nothing is timed, so the work happens whenever your household is free, including evenings and weekends.
How do I prove the hours if my state asks?
Instructional hours log automatically while your child works, and a transcript prints in one click. Requirements differ by state and we publish a plain-language summary for all 50.
