Illuminant Schoolhouse
Homeschool Planner & Records
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Every state is here: a plain guide to your homeschool law, reminders before each deadline, and the papers your state asks for, filled in from the records you keep.
Illuminant Schoolhouse is the office staff for your homeschool. Enter each course as a list of lessons, check things off every day, and the attendance, hours, portfolio, and the papers your state asks for are already done.
PLAN ONCE
• Photograph a curriculum's table of contents and it becomes a course. Or paste a list, import a spreadsheet, or generate numbered lessons.
• Pick how each course meets: every school day, Monday-Wednesday-Friday, three times a week, two lessons a day, one term only, or as a loop (art, music, poetry, handicrafts: whatever is next happens next).
• School years from templates with holidays and terms. Family courses shared by every child. Fixed events for co-op, tutors, and sports.
THE PLAN SURVIVES REAL LIFE
• Missed a day? Bump. Unfinished lessons move forward; finished and pinned lessons stay put.
• Every course shows Ahead, On pace, Behind, or Won't finish, with the date it ends at the current rate.
• Pin a lesson to the day it has to happen. Change a rule or a day off and only future dates move.
CHECK THINGS OFF EVERY DAY
• Each student's list is waiting on the Home tab. Tap the circle when something is done. That one tap is the attendance record, the hours record, and the lesson log.
• Partial, skip, notes, timers, and photos of the work, right on the lesson.
• Routines for memory work, read-aloud, and practice. A morning summary and a Sunday reminder. Home Screen widgets. Siri and Shortcuts.
THE RECORDS WRITE THEMSELVES
• Attendance with half days, away days, and a full-day rule.
• Hours by subject, core and non-core, at home and away.
• A portfolio of photos and notes filed by student and subject. A reading log with barcode scan. Assessments and activities.
EVERY STATE, IN PLAIN WORDS
• All 50 states and Washington, D.C. Pick your state and how you homeschool there, and the year is set up to match: school days, hours, and required subjects.
• A plain guide to your state's notice, days or hours, subjects, tests, and records, with this year's dates and links to the law. Free.
• Reminders before each notice, test, and report is due, and a "Coming up" card on Home. Free.
• A compliance check for each student measures the year so far against your state's rules: met, on track, behind, or due soon.
PRINT WHAT YOUR STATE ASKS FOR
• The papers your state asks for, filled in from your records: notice of intent letters, the answers for your state's form, requirement logs, progress reports, test records, evaluator letters, and withdrawal letters.
• Attendance calendar, hours by subject, lesson log, reading list, and portfolio book, for any state.
• New York quarterly report and IHIP. Pennsylvania evaluator summary. Missouri hours log.
• Share, print, or save as PDF, on US Letter or A4.
STUDENT MODE
• Hand over the iPad. Your child gets a locked checklist with big check circles, timers, and a small celebration when the day is done. Leaving takes the family PIN, or your Face ID if you turn it on.
YOUR RECORDS ARE YOURS
• No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Records sync through your own iCloud across your iPhone and iPad.
• One-file backup and restore, free on every plan. Nothing you enter is ever locked away.
