Dear Parents,

The Discovery K12 Calendar begins September 8, 2026, and now is a great time to get ready for the new homeschool year.

Discovery K12 is a free online homeschool curriculum for Pre-K–12 with 180 days of lessons and assignments already planned for your student.

Each day, students can log in to Daily Assignments to see what to work on and move through their subjects in a clear order. This gives families a simple way to follow the curriculum throughout the school year while learning on their own schedule.



Parents who want additional recordkeeping and oversight tools can also use the optional Parent/Teacher Account for grades, attendance, answer keys, progress reports, report cards, transcripts, and more.

Wishing you a wonderful new year,
The DK12 Team

Learning doesn’t have to stop when summer begins. Whether you’re continuing your homeschool year, getting ahead for next year, or just looking for meaningful educational activities, Discovery K12 is available all summer long.

Your free student account includes access to all 180 days of curriculum for your student’s grade level. There are no weekly schedules or expiration dates, so you can learn at the pace that works best for your family.

If you’re new to homeschooling, summer is also a great time to explore Discovery K12 before the new school year begins. Browse the lessons, see how Daily Assignments are organized, and discover how easy it is to build a flexible homeschool routine.

Have you saved your student’s records yet? The Parent/Teacher Account makes it easy to generate transcripts, report cards, certificates of completion, high school diplomas, attendance reports, and other important academic records from the 2025–2026 school year before you begin planning for the next.

Wishing you a wonderful summer,
The DK12 Team

As the 2025–2026 school year comes to a close, we want to thank our students, parents, and educators for another incredible year of learning!

From daily lessons completed to goals achieved, every step forward reflects the hard work, dedication, and growth that took place throughout the year. Whether your student completed a few lessons or all 180 days, each accomplishment is worth celebrating.

As you prepare for summer, now is a great time to organize your academic records. Parent/Teacher Account (PTA) members can access transcripts, report cards, certificates, diplomas, attendance records, and more to help document their student’s progress.

Remember, learning doesn’t have to stop when the school year ends. Discovery K12 lessons remain available year-round, allowing students to continue learning on a schedule that works for their family.

We hope you enjoy a well-deserved summer break and look forward to learning with you again in the upcoming school year.

The final weeks of the school year can feel like one of the busiest times for homeschooling families. Between wrapping up assignments, organizing records, and preparing for the next school year, getting everything in order now can help make the transition into summer feel much smoother.

Our team has put together a simple end of year checklist to help families stay organized, keep important records updated, and close out the school year with confidence:

The Discovery K12 Parent/Teacher Account helps families keep everything organized in one place with tools for attendance tracking, grade books, transcript generation, certificates, diplomas, assessment tests, and more.

This can also be a great time to look back on how much your student has accomplished throughout the year and prepare for a smoother transition into summer learning or the next grade level.

Thank you for being part of the Discovery K12 community. If you ever need support, our team is always available at info@discoveryk12.com.

Starting homeschool in the middle of the school year is more common than many families realize. Some families switch because their child needs a different pace, while others are looking for a learning environment that feels more flexible and supportive.

With Discovery K12, students can begin right where they are. There’s no need to catch up or rush through lessons. Daily assignments are designed to build skills gradually, helping students move forward with confidence and consistency.

Students complete assignments directly in their account by reading, watching short lessons, and marking work as completed. There are no strict deadlines, so families can focus on understanding and steady progress instead of pressure.

If you’re looking for support along the way, we encourage parents to join the Discovery K12 Parent Facebook. It’s a friendly space to connect with other families, share experiences, and ask questions as you settle into homeschooling.
