FAQs

Get ready — our brand-new Cinema Series courses launch in August 2025! These updated middle and high school courses are designed to feel more like your student’s favorite streaming content: short, story-driven videos, engaging teachers, and interactive activities that bring learning to life.

You’ll be able to switch to the new courses any time after they launch. And don’t worry — your current courses will remain available through December 31, 2025, so there’s no pressure to rush the transition.

In addition to refreshing our core subjects, we’re also introducing exciting new high school electives like Physical Education, Drawing, Photography, Introduction to Engineering, Budgeting & Investing, and Music Production & Digital Media — giving your student more ways to explore their interests while staying on track academically.

Cinema Series was built to meet students where they are — with high-quality video instruction, real-world examples, and tools that support real learning (like guided notes, auto-grading, and real-time progress tracking).

It’s all part of our goal to make homeschooling feel more modern, more motivating, and more effective for both you and your student.

Yes — but it’s quick and easy.

Once the new courses are live in August, just head to your Parent Dashboard, click Manage Students, and choose Update Courses to make the switch.

Once you update, you’ll move forward with the new courses — and while you can’t go back, all past work will still be saved in your reports for peace of mind.

Not at all.

This upgrade is included in your existing Time4Learning membership — no price increases, no surprise fees, just better courses for the same cost.

You’ll have full control over when to switch. The old courses will stay available through the end of the year (December 31, 2025), so your student can finish what they’ve started before transitioning to the new version.

Once you switch, the old course will be archived — meaning your student won’t be able to go back, but all completed work and grades will still be viewable in your reports.

And here’s something we’re especially excited about:
With the Cinema Series, your customized Activity Planner actually carries through to your student’s experience. No more setting up a plan only for your child to see the entire course all at once. Now, the plan you create truly guides their day-to-day path — making your time well spent and their progress more focused.
