An online homeschool curriculum for PreK through 12th grade covering language arts, math, science and social studies. Kids log in and work through video lessons, learning games, quizzes and printable worksheets at their grade level, and parents track progress in a parent dashboard. It is used as a full homeschool program, for after-school help or for summer review. Time4Learning is not a school; the parent is the teacher of record. An accredited virtual school is sold separately.
Our take: A practical option for homeschooling parents who want a ready-made online curriculum; families wanting a teacher-led, accredited program need the separate virtual school.

Data and privacy
The privacy policy says it collects only what is needed from students under 18 for school purposes and does not sell sensitive data. For parents and site visitors, it collects device and advertising IDs for marketing, and some sharing may count as a 'sale' under state law. Read the privacy policy.
Does it work?
No independent studies found. The maker's own claims only: a July 2026 survey of 331 member parents reports 82% less homeschool stress and a 60% average improvement in performance.
