Part one
How a lesson gets made
AI makes it quicker to draft and improve good material. It does not get to publish. That rule is built into the workflow, not left to good intentions.
01 · Goal
Start from the curriculum, in our own words
Each lesson begins with what official Australian curriculum requirements expect students to know and do. We write the explanation, examples and activities ourselves. We do not reproduce government teaching resources.
02 · Draft
AI drafts the first version
Our AI studio proposes an explanation, a visual, practice questions and the five-level variations. It is fast, and it is never the final word.
03 · Check
AI helps improve it
A second pass looks for unclear wording, weak examples and quiz answers that could mislead. Suggested revisions are queued as proposals, not changes.
04 · Approve
A person decides what is published
Nothing reaches a student until a human reviewer approves it. Revisions to live lessons wait in the same review queue.
Part two
How a student learns with it
Lessons are visual and interactive: models to move, predictions to test, short practice that answers back. A subject teacher character guides each lesson, so it feels like working alongside someone who knows the subject, rather than scrolling a worksheet.
Five instructional levels, easy through hard, keep the same goal while changing how much help is given. Families and students choose the level; the lesson does not secretly rewrite itself mid-way.
Some of the subject teacher characters students meet inside lessons.
Level 3. The learning goal at its expected depth. Hints wait until they are asked for.
These examples show our five-level approach; this preview does not change a learner’s settings. The learning goal stays the same while guidance and complexity change.
Part three
Students help shape the lessons
Learners are not just an audience. Today, every lesson carries a Make it better button. A student can flag a confusing sentence, an example that misses, or a spot where a diagram would help. That request goes to our review inbox and can turn into a proposed revision.
We are developing the next step: letting students create learning content of their own, such as a worked explanation or a practice set for their peers. It is not available yet. When it arrives, it will follow these rules:
The rules for student contributions
- Moderated before anyone sees itChecked for inappropriate language and for real names or anything targeting a person.
- Approved by an adminNever published automatically, however good it looks.
- Credited safelyShown with a safe display name, not the student's real name.
Status: in development. "Make it better" feedback is live now.
Part four
What the family sees
Parents set up student sign-ins, choose content and follow progress: lessons completed, practice attempted, time spent. Learner records are protected with AES-256-GCM encryption and family-specific access controls.
Progress records are a helpful picture of activity. They are not proof of mastery or of attendance, and we do not present them that way.
Where we are today
Years 7–10 core subjects now. Years 11–12 pathways in development.
Senior secondary is built subject by subject, because each state and territory sets its own courses. We do not issue Year 12 certificates, and Home-Skool is not accredited or endorsed by any government. See the curriculum references we plan from.
Questions
Things families ask first
Getting started
Which year levels and subjects are available?
Core subjects for Years 7–10 are available now. Years 11–12 pathways are being developed subject by subject, because senior courses differ between states and territories. We do not yet offer complete Years 7–12 coverage.
Is it based on the Australian Curriculum?
Lessons are original and guided by official Australian curriculum requirements. We do not reproduce government teaching resources, and Home-Skool is not accredited or endorsed by any government. Our planning sources are listed on the curriculum references page.
Who makes the lessons?
AI drafts and helps improve lessons. A person reviews and approves every lesson and revision before students see it.
Families and learners
Do parents and students have separate sign-ins?
Yes. A parent creates the family account, then sets up each student's own sign-in or sends an invitation. Each learner has their own profile and progress.
How many children can one family plan include?
The Family plans cover up to 5 children under one parent account. The Individual plan covers one learner. Details are on plans and pricing.
Can students create lessons?
Not yet. Today students can use Make it better in any lesson to flag something unclear. Student-created lessons are planned, and will be moderated for inappropriate language and real names, approved by an admin and credited with a safe display name before anything is shown.
Learning and devices
How does difficulty work?
Each lesson has five instructional levels from easy to hard. The goal stays the same; the amount of guidance and complexity changes. The lesson does not act as a live personal coach.
What devices do we need?
A modern browser on a computer, tablet or phone, and an internet connection. Home-Skool is not an offline app. If the connection drops briefly, some recent answers can be held and synced later, but that is limited recovery, not offline learning.
Pricing and trial
Is there a free trial?
New subscribers get 30 days free, then the selected plan renews automatically at the listed price in Australian dollars. Compare plans on the pricing page.
Homeschool registration and records
Will Home-Skool register us for home education?
No. Registration requirements are set by each state and territory, and your family remains responsible for checking them with the relevant authority. We cannot guarantee any authority will accept particular evidence.
Can our records help with reporting?
Parents can view and download family progress records showing work recorded in Home-Skool. They can help you show what was done, but they are not approved state forms and are not proof of mastery or attendance.
