What you get

Everything a homeschool group runs on, minus the spreadsheets.

Most groups juggle a mailing list, three spreadsheets, and a payment app held together by one exhausted volunteer. Homeschool Harbor brings it together in one hub your families actually enjoy using.

Your group's hub in an afternoon

Sign up with an email, pick a theme, invite families. Your own subdomain is included — no developer required.

Class signups without the chaos

Class caps and waitlists in one flow. Rosters update themselves, and teachers take attendance right from them.

One calendar everyone trusts

Field trips, park days and breaks live on one shared calendar, and a cancelled day comes off every class schedule automatically.

Dues and payments handled

Bill dues and deposits, let families pay online by card or bank transfer, and see who has paid without chasing anyone.

Directory families control

Families choose whether they are listed, share their pronouns, and can go private instantly.

Volunteers who show up

Time-slotted sign-up sheets with service credits, so the same three parents are not carrying the group.

Privacy by default

Your families' data is never the product.

No ad trackers, no data brokers, no curriculum vendor buying your roster. Families choose whether other members can see them, and your lists export to CSV whenever you need them.

  • —Directory listing is opt-in for every family
  • —Pronouns as a first-class field
  • —No third-party scripts or trackers on any page

Built for every learner

Accessibility built in, not on request.

Every hub is built to be keyboard-navigable and screen-reader friendly, and follows your members' reduced-motion settings — accessibility we're actively building toward, not a finished claim.

  • —Calm pages that respect reduced-motion settings
  • —Plain-language forms that save your progress
  • —Allergy and medical notes on every teacher's roster

Live in three steps

Your site can launch the same day you sign up. No developer, no migration project.

01

Claim your harbor

Name your group, pick a subdomain, and choose a theme. Two minutes.

02

Set up your year

Add your classes and dates, invite families to apply, then set who can see what.

03

Open the doors

Open applications. Families join, register for classes and pay dues in one place from any device.

A closer look

The views your board and your families spend the most time in, shown with a made-up demo co-op.

An organizer dashboard with member, family, class and student counts, upcoming events with RSVPs, and recent logins

Organizer dashboard

Families, members, current classes and upcoming events for the whole group at a glance.

The class matrix: a week of classes laid out by day, time and room

Class catalog

Families browse the week by day and time, then register their children in a few clicks.

The family directory: family cards with photos, neighborhoods, homeschool approaches and shared interests

Family directory

Families find others who share their approach, interests and neighborhood. Listing is opt-in, and allergy notes go only to a child's teachers.

Every family deserves a homeschool community that runs on good software and takes them exactly as they are.

We build for secular, LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent homeschoolers first, so the tools are welcoming by construction instead of tolerant by exception.

Questions -> Answered

Do you sell or share our members' data? +

Never. We have no ad network, no data brokers and no third-party trackers. You own your data, and your lists export to CSV whenever you need them.

What does the free trial include? +

Everything, free for 60 days. No credit card required to start, and if you add one early it is not charged until the trial ends.

Is it really no-code? +

Yes. Pick a theme and customize your site through the admin — no code required.

What counts as a family? +

Any family whose account is active, whether or not they are signed up for anything yet. Your yearly price is based on the families you have at the end of the trial and at each renewal. Families who join during the year are charged for the rest of the year, pro-rated, on one invoice a month at most.

Can we cancel or pause between school years? +

Cancel any time from your billing page. Your site stays open through the year you've paid for, and there's no long-term contract.

How do you handle student safety and moderation? +

Children under 13 never get their own login, family profiles are private by default, only signed-in members can see the directory, and admin access is role-based.
