As you prepare for the 2026 homeschool year, we’re excited to share our Homeschool Guide, created to support families every step of the way.

This guide is designed to help you understand how Discovery K12 fits into your homeschool routine—whether you’re just getting started or returning for another year. Inside, you’ll find clear guidance, practical tips, and helpful context to make planning, pacing, and daily learning feel more manageable.

The guide also includes a How It Works overview, walking through daily assignments, grade levels, and key features so you can feel confident using the platform from day one.

The Homeschool Guide is free and available to download now. We recommend taking a few minutes to review it before the school year begins—it’s meant to save you time, reduce uncertainty, and help you start the year feeling prepared.

Best regards,
