Online Homeschool Programs in Tennessee

There is no single best free curriculum for every Tennessee family because children’s ages, learning styles, and parent teaching preferences differ. The School House offers a free Mighty Networks community where anyone can connect and share ideas. Its complete American Emergent Curriculum is a paid program that includes structured sessions, parent training films, printables, live support, and portfolio tools.

The School House homeschool program delivers the Pre-K through 8th grade American Emergent Curriculum and is designed for learners roughly ages 3 through 12. Families receive age-appropriate curriculum materials organized into 8-week sessions. This structure lets children spend meaningful time exploring connected topics while parents use training films and lesson guidance to prepare for instruction.

The program costs $125 per month per learner for 10 monthly payments during the school year, or $1,200 per learner when paid annually. Both payment options include the same curriculum, more than 400 educator training films, printables, Transparent Classroom progress tools, live weekly support, and member community access. Optional physical materials boxes are purchased separately.

Enrollment includes complete curriculum delivered in 8-week sessions, custom printables and lesson materials, more than 400 educator training films, and Transparent Classroom for progress and portfolio tracking. Families also receive live weekly educator and founder support sessions, recordings for later viewing, office hours, a member community, ongoing updates, and a digital welcome box at signup.

The curriculum is deliberately screen-minimal. Parents use the online curriculum pages and educator training films to understand and prepare lessons, while children primarily learn through printables, hands-on materials, conversation, and a prepared home environment. This approach is intended to make technology a support for the educator instead of the central setting for the child’s daily learning.

No formal teaching credential is described as a requirement for enrollment. The program is designed to support parents as educators through curriculum guidance, more than 400 training films, live weekly Q&A sessions, office hours, and a member community. Parents first learn the lesson, then guide their child through it and track progress using the program’s reporting tools.

The curriculum is organized into 8-week sessions that allow learners to investigate topics in depth. Rather than teaching every subject as a separate silo, lessons connect reading, writing, math, science, entrepreneurship, civics, gratitude, kindness, and art. This integrated approach helps families build coherent learning experiences and gives children opportunities to see relationships across subjects.

The School House includes Transparent Classroom, a progress and portfolio-tracking tool that helps families organize each learner’s work and development. Families remain responsible for understanding and following applicable Tennessee homeschool requirements, including any records or documentation associated with their selected homeschool option. The portfolio tool provides a practical place to maintain and review learning evidence over time.
