No trade secrets — just the honest mechanics of each part, so you know what you’re getting.
Romeschool writes its own classical curriculum. The trivium spine — grammar, Latin, logic, rhetoric — plus history and civics, philosophy and the great books, wisdom and character, and science by doing. Students read the lesson themselves and compose off-screen; once a week they stand and deliver a speech, scored against a real rubric. Finishing a lesson logs its minutes straight into the planner and logbook, so course work becomes your hours record without a second act of bookkeeping. Every course opens September 1.
Browse every courseYou give it your subjects, how many days a week you school, and roughly how long each subject takes. Romeschool lays out the whole year — pacing every subject so it finishes on time — and tags each day Long, Short, or Off to match the rhythm you set. Miss a day? The minutes you owe fold forward into the days ahead, spread thin, so no single day balloons. Nothing falls off the calendar; it just re-flows.
Teaching more than one child at once is the real puzzle — you can't sit with two kids in the same minute. A few sliders tell us how hands-on you need to be for each child's subject. Romeschool then schedules the day so a subject that needs you for one child runs against a subject another can do on their own, minimizing the moments two kids need you at once.
See how the balancing worksLogging should take seconds. Check off a planner lesson, snap a photo of a worksheet, or just say what you did — it lands on the right child and subject. Over the year that two-minute habit quietly becomes the attendance log, the hours record, and the transcript your state or a college asks for. One export, already done.
Every state's rules are different, and they change. Romeschool keeps a structured record of what your state actually requires — days, notices, assessments — and turns the deadlines into reminders. When it's time to file a Notice of Intent, a short wizard prepares the letter. We prepare and organize; you stay in control of what's sent.
If your state funds homeschooling through an ESA, the hard part isn't spending the money — it's proving how you spent it. Capture a receipt the moment you buy, tag it, and keep a clean ledger of every dollar. When the program asks you to account for the year, the answer's ready. Romeschool organizes your records; it doesn't replace your state's portal.
Most “which curriculum?” quizzes are three questions and a sales pitch. Ours scores nearly 1,100 programs against your family — worldview, grade band, budget, format, learning differences — and explains every match instead of pushing whatever's promoted. Fully free, no account needed.
See how the matching worksBoth — and they're separate things. Romeschool publishes its own classical courses; that's the Academy, and it's what a membership pays for. Separately, the Curriculum Finder is a free tool that scores nearly 1,100 third-party programs against your family, so you can choose materials for the subjects we don't cover — math, most obviously. The Finder gets no thumb on the scale for our own listing: it ranks us by the same rules as everyone else, and will happily recommend a program that competes with ours.
There's no trial and no countdown — a free account is simply free. It keeps the planner, logbook, and records for every student, plus your state's requirements. Membership opens the Academy courses. With no account at all you can still read the free public sample — Unsettlers: An American History, Unit 1 (five lessons) — and use Field Trip Finder, Curriculum Finder, and the state pages. Filing a Notice of Intent is free for everyone, forever.
Curriculum is per student — $999/yr for your first student and $499 for every additional one, at the founder rate. The planner, logbook & records tools are free for every student. Your renewal rate is guaranteed for the life of your account and never rises.
Your renewal rate is fixed the day you join and never rises — for the students you have now and any you add before the founding closes. If you joined in an early band, your FIRST year was discounted below that renewal rate, so year two steps up to it; after that it holds. Founding Families never pay the standing rate.
Per student — curriculum is priced per child: $999 for your first and $499 for every additional student at the founder rate. The planner, logbook & records tools are free for every student. Your renewal rate is guaranteed for the life of your account and never rises.
Cancel anytime — no hoops. If school starts and Romeschool isn’t carrying its weight for your family, say so — a full refund, all the way through the middle of your first semester. No lesson limits, no forms, no friction.
No child ever logs in — Romeschool is a tool for parents. We keep written descriptions of the work, never a cloud album of your kids' faces, and the family community layer carries no photos at all. Privacy here is the architecture, not a policy page.
No — and that's deliberate. We prepare your NOI letter and track the deadline; you review and send it. We organize your ESA receipts into a clean, exportable ledger; the actual spending still happens in your state's portal. You stay in control of anything official.
Completely. Your plan, your logbook, your records — all yours, exportable as a PDF the day you need them, whether that's for an evaluator, a college, or just moving on.
All 50 states plus DC for state requirements and record-keeping. The guided Notice of Intent wizard covers the states that file by letter today, and we're adding more. If your state isn't fully wired yet, the requirements and reminders still work.
