FAQs
Yes, students who use Time4Learning for their education can successfully get into college. Time4Learning provides a robust curriculum that meets most state standards, equipping students with the knowledge and skills needed for higher education.
For homeschooling families, the key is creating proper records, including transcripts, test scores (like SAT or ACT), and a portfolio of your student's work. Time4Learning’s progress reports and tools make it easier to document and showcase your child's academic achievements. Many Time4Learning graduates have been accepted into colleges and universities across the country.
Yes, most employers recognize a homeschool diploma as valid, provided it meets your state's homeschooling laws and includes proper documentation. A homeschool diploma issued by parents or an umbrella school is considered equivalent to a diploma from a traditional school.
Here’s what helps ensure your homeschool diploma is recognized:
Compliance with State Laws: Follow your state’s homeschooling regulations, which may include keeping records, filing intent-to-homeschool forms, or conducting standardized tests.
Well-Drafted Transcript: Provide a detailed transcript showing the courses completed, grades, and credits earned. Time4Learning offers progress reports that can be used to build this.
Optional GED: If you're concerned about recognition, some homeschool graduates also take the GED test, though it’s often unnecessary if proper documentation is provided.
No, Time4Learning does not currently offer Advanced Placement (AP) classes. However, it provides a robust high school curriculum that can prepare students for AP courses or exams offered through other programs.
If your student wants to take AP classes, you can supplement Time4Learning with external AP programs, such as those offered by online schools, community colleges, or the College Board’s AP Classroom. Time4Learning’s flexible schedule makes it easy to integrate additional coursework.
Taking AP exams is open to all students, so your child can still earn college credit or demonstrate advanced knowledge by registering for exams through the College Board, even if they don't take an official AP course.
Time4Learning offers several features that make it a great option for children with special needs:
Self-Paced Learning: Lessons are flexible, allowing students to move at their own pace. They can revisit lessons as needed to fully grasp the material.
Interactive and Engaging Content: The curriculum uses multimedia lessons, interactive games, and animations to keep learning engaging, which can be especially helpful for children with learning differences.
Customizable Grade Levels: Parents can adjust grade levels for each subject independently, allowing the curriculum to meet the child’s specific strengths and challenges.
Minimal Parental Preparation: The program is user-friendly and requires minimal prep time, allowing parents to focus on guiding their child instead of creating lesson plans.
Progress Tracking: Time4Learning offers detailed reports that help parents monitor progress and identify areas needing extra support.
Sensory-Friendly Design: The online format eliminates the need for physical classrooms, which can be overwhelming for some children with sensory sensitivities.

What do we love most about homeschooling?
The fact that when the children start school it's just learning. We're not worrying about seditious behavior or violence.
Our lunches are better, and so are the snacks. We are not timed. The children can learn at their own pace. Everyone is different. We understand that. Also, and most of all, we travel; a lot. So the children can see where history was made across the world 🌎. Not just in a classroom. Time4learning has made life so easy and simple for us and the children. The virtual classes are guided by credited teachers who feel children need better avenues for school than public. You don't have to be a good teacher, that's what time4learning is there for, and they have all the tools to help your child succeed.
We have been using them for years. Our oldest daughter graduated from time4learning and our son is next.

My experience with Time4Learning has been great!!
I would do it all over again but time4learning has prepared me for the next chapter in my life. I am ready to step out in the big world knowing it will be exciting.

I started time for learning in 2019 with my 2 sons. That was the best move I made!!!! The curriculum was very easy to assign and the boys got the feel of it and took off. Time for learning allowed them to experience the world in travel as well as continuing to work on school. I have a 2024 graduate and a 2026 graduate. I was able to continue to work and spend time working on their schoolwork. For me time for learning brought my family even closer and I learned as they learned. Being a wife, mom, teacher, principal and sometimes a student is a full time job but it was very rewarding. As of August 31I will no longer be part of this amazing family called Time for Learning but I will always keep them in my heart because the memories we’ve made because of them is so rewarding. Thank you for all you did and continue to do. To anyone wondering about them…well sign up and make your memories of a lifetime. #forevergrateful

When we made the decision to homeschool, our older daughters started T4L in 1st and 4th grades. We loved it! When our eldest daughter was beginning high school, she decided she wanted to try traditional school. She stuck it out a full year, but it just wasn't for her. She went back to T4L, re-did the 9th grade (her choice), and recently graduated along with her peers. Youngest siblings have also started schooling on T4L.

My son used time4learning from 8th grade to 12th grade! He’s discovered his passion for finance, he’s learned pride in his work, and grown confidence in his own abilities to complete tasks. We loved the curriculum, and the variety of the electives.

Using this for my daughter it is excellent and I highly recommend it. Some colleges will ask for a detailed description of the course material and you can download it directly from Time4Learning.
Esther S.5/5Verified
I really enjoy Time4learning!! Not every student learns at the same pace as others so with Time4learning you can take your time to really understand and learn each subject.
Thank You Time4learning!!😃
Randy L.5/5Verified
My son has been using Time4learning since middle school and it has been a very good experience for him. He has learned about being responsible about his school work, learn different world events. There have been challenges but he has learned from them and worked hard improving on those challenges.
Time4learning is definitely a very good tool for homeschooled students.

Your curriculum has made it easy for me to homeschool my child. We have been using T4L since 2019 (pre-covid). Using T4L all these years has given our family the flexibility we needed while providing the secular knowledge/education that my child needs. Thanks!
Keturah S.5/5Verified
Grandson has enjoyed the program and we are grateful

Awesome!!
Kathy J.5/5Verified
Time 4 learning has given my daughter the ability to challenge herself to achieve goals we thought couldn't have been possible. She's accelled at a pace far beyond her friends and those around her the same age that attend brick and mortar schools. She finished the twelfth grade at 14 and a half and is now attending college for coding. We couldn't have been happier with the curriculum , the staff at time 4 learning and all the incredible opportunities that this program has offered and given my daughter on this journey. Being in a homeschool environment has also kept my daughter and I close and has allowed us to have a strong and meaningful relationship. If I had to go back and do it all again I wouldn't change a thing.
Derald M.5/5Verified
I have used Time4Learning since 2017. Although my children and I live outside of the United States, as Americans it was important to me that they receive a high-quality American education. As an educator, I truly appreciated the depth, rigor, and academic complexity across subjects. My children were consistently challenged and remained engaged throughout their learning journey.
We began using Time4Learning when my children were in 7th and 4th grades. My daughter has since completed her courses and is now attending university, while my son is currently in his 12th-grade year. The program provided me with both the structure and flexibility to tailor learning to each child’s needs, while also giving them the confidence to explore, grow, and enjoy learning at their own pace.
Sabrina B.5/5Verified
Our daughter did amazing with Time 4 Learning. She struggled in public school to maintain a D. Didn't want to go to school. 11th grade she averaged a B. 12th grade an A. Without having to nag at her to do her work.
Allen H.5/5Verified
This comprehensive high school curriculum was exactly what we needed to allow Patrick the flexibility to learn at his own pace and progress year to year. For 4 years this program was the primary course of instruction, in conjunction with additional specialized programs and extracurricular lessons. It met our needs and satisfied the requirements of our state. Completing the totality of hours of instruction in a homeschool environment allowed Patrick to complete high school and prepare for the future. We thank you for developing this program.
James B.5/5Verified
Quality videos and great selection of core courses and electives.
Esther S.5/5Verified
I love the curriculum for my daughter and she does too. I do wish that the program also created the transcripts for you even if that meant a higher monthly rate. But as a senior this year it doesn't matter to me after this.
Amanda J.5/5Verified
My two children began Time4learning right after Covid began, middle school age. One is now in her first year of College and just finished her first semester with all A's. She is thriving so well socially and emotionally and is very focused on her career path. My second child is a Senior and doing great also and is looking forward to College in the fall. Time4learning has kept my children focused on what is important I'm life , their present and their future. Absolutely adorable program.
