About Us

Your kid isn’t like the others.
Why should their curriculum be?

Created by experts for parents.

We believe that inside every parent lives their child’s greatest teacher. Why? Because parents know their child and their learning preferences the best. Over more than 20 years, our curriculum experts have curated a program that unlocks the power of individualized learning. The result? Confident, future-forward kids ready to thrive in college and career.

Think outside the schoolhouse clock.

It’s a big world. We believe in harnessing the flexibility of homeschool to help families explore passions, travel, and hobbies without the constraints of traditional school hours. Our planner makes it seamless to schedule classes in the morning one day and in the afternoon the next. Whatever works for the way your family wants to live!

Your kid shouldn’t have to fit into a system

Too often, educators are asked to teach to the middle. Some kids get left behind, while accelerated learners disengage and sit at their desks bored to tears. With Time4Learning, our curriculum is entirely self paced, ensuring kids learn material on their own terms. This flexibility also allows parents to select curriculum most aligned with their kid’s interests and family values.

Help kids ace life, not just the test.

A great education starts with teaching kids critical thinking that they can use for the rest of their lives. In every lesson, we go beyond rote memorization and encourage kids' inquiry and curiosity. Time4Learning also helps students develop lifelong skills such as problem solving, organization, time management and planning.

Led by an educator, curriculum expert and mom

Welcome to Time4Learning! I’m thrilled you’ve made it here. Time4Learning believes in school choice and for you to have the freedom to choose what is right for your child’s education. From where they learn and when they learn, and even more fundamentally, to what they learn, we’re here to support you.

As you consider what kind of education you want for your child, we hope we can be part of your journey! Whether you choose to homeschool, send them to a microschool, create a learning pod, or enroll them in a virtual school, Time4Learning has the experience and supports you need to create a wonder- and awe-filled education for your child!
