I absolutely LOVE your planner - PER. I came across PER via a Google Search. I had tried to use something called Homeschool Tracker Plus, but I found it to be extremely over complicated. PER is user-friendly and has everything I need. - Joe M., Pennsylvania
I could cry right now I'm so relieved! Thank you so much for your website. Thank you for making homeschooling thru high school so much more enjoyable. You have taken such a burden off of my shoulders.... - The Shurba Family
This is my 7th year of homeschooling my granddaughter and I have searched high and low for a program like this one. Tonight, finally, I have found my dream-come-true and I am so thankful, so inspired. - Jill, Homeschool Grandmother
This invaluable service helps keep me and the kids on track. I sit down in one week and plan out my entire school year. The planning service also makes them more independent students. They get up in the morning, look at what is assigned for the day and do it. I love that! The program is so easy to follow even a computer/technology-deficient person like myself can follow it. Thank you so much for enhancing our homeschool in this way. - Theresa, Homeschool Mom
Have you searched high and low for a solution to your homeschool’s record-keeping needs?
Is your biggest hassle:
- Planning and scheduling your children’s lessons?
- Dealing with self-doubt about the quality of the job you are doing?
- Keeping accurate records of your children’s work for reporting purposes?
- Tracking your children’s progress?
- Having too much to do to keep and maintain a paper journal?
- All of the above?
We are homeschoolers ourselves and know that the joy of home educating comes with a great many headaches and challenges. We wanted to ease some of the headaches and leave more time for the joyful parts of home educating, so we developed our free, web-based tracking system called PER for Plan Educate Record. (click here to try it).
- Plan and Schedule Your Lessons. You create your plan inside our PER and then communicate to your children what their lessons are, and when they need to be completed. You can use popular curricula like Alpha Omega, Sonlight or Spectrum, and can even add your own customized lessons.
- File Your Records. All your records are stored securely. Even if your hard drive crashes, your records will be safe. No more “now where did I leave that folder?” And these records will always be accessible for free, no matter how long you home educate.
- Track Their Progress. Instead of having “just today” in your mind, you can see what your children have done this week, this month, all year, and for years past. If one parent is out of town, that parent can log on from any internet-ready computer to track progress and see what’s happening from the road. You can even print attendance reports, course reports, create report cards and transcripts. Any time you need a journal of what your children have done and the materials they have used, it is right there, waiting for you, in PER!
- Family Messaging. Our system even includes a safe and easy way for your family to communicate about school work without the worry about email. Just click “send message” to send an uplifting message like “Great work!” or “I’m proud of you!” straight to your children’s message queue inside your PER school. A parent employed outside the home can stay involved now, too, answering questions and offering support. No matter whether on the road for work or just in the office as usual, messages can reach you as soon as you logon to your family’s school.
I am the main teacher for our son at home, but I have to work during the day, so he stays with his grandmother and does his assignments. I like how he can just go into PER and see what he has to do. If he has a question his grandmother can’t answer, he can use the secure messaging feature to ask me, even while I am at work! It helps me stay in touch and keep him moving along. I think it is the only way we can homeschool him and enable me to work. - Joe M., Pennsylvania
I just wanted to thank you and let you know that I have set up my school, courses, assignments, and explored the capabilities of the program. I am so impressed ... again, I say "Thank You" for providing a valuable tool for homeschoolers! - Jill, Homeschool Grandmother
You have taken such a burden off of my shoulders. Fear of how to make a transcript, fear of trying to keep track of everything we do for FOUR YEARS and keep it somewhere that's available! I just can't express how grateful I am for you! - The Shurba Family
Give our system a try! It’s free and always will be!
We believe so strongly that good, accurate records make every home educator’s life so much easier that we offer our system to all comers, for free, forever! Families in high regulation states need this, but so do families in medium or low regulation states. Now, over 40,000 families world-wide use our system and sites. You should too!
Incidentally, I strongly believe that you should charge for PER. Even the $50 PER class is almost ridiculously cheap. Thanks again, so much! - Joe M., Pennsylvania
I would have gladly paid a few hundred dollars for this program, so to find it at no cost is just such a bonus. I just wanted to thank you! - Jill, Homeschool Grandmother
You’re all very welcome! Remember, it’s free and always will be!
