For homeschool families
Plan the year, teach the day, keep the record.
Pick your curriculum and run the week from the kitchen wall. Attendance, grades, report cards and the transcript build from the lessons your children tick off. This is the long version, for parents who teach at home all week, part of the week, or alongside a co-op.
“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”
Curriculum and lesson plans
Start from the books already on your shelf.
The curriculum library lists more than 200 Christian homeschool curricula. Search it by subject, grade, publisher and format, pick one for a child, and Doorpost numbers the lessons and spreads them across your school days. You can re-plan at any time. Where the library is not sure how many lessons a book has, it says About and lets you correct the count.
If yours is not in the library, add a course of your own and type or paste the lessons, one to a line. Build from an outline takes photos or a PDF of the table of contents. When AI is on, AI reads the units and lessons from those pages, and you check all of it before anything is saved.
When AI is on, Doorpost can also draft a unit of lessons for a topic. That request carries the topic, the grade you choose and the course name. Where AI is used
Doorpost holds the plan. The lessons themselves stay in the books you already own.
The week
Move a lesson or skip a day, and the plan follows.
This week shows one child’s week. Drag a lesson to another day or add one to any day. Mark a day Skip day or Sick day and the rest of that child’s plan slides one school day.
Today lists every child’s lessons as rows to tick. On the wall each child taps their picture and sees only their own. Done with Math closes the subject in one tap. Turn on Parent checks schoolwork for a child and a finished lesson reads Waiting for check until you have looked it over, then Complete.
Attendance
Nobody fills in an attendance sheet.
Ticking a lesson records the school day. A school day is any day marked school or co-op, plus any day a lesson was marked done. Hours come from the finished lessons: the minutes you entered, or otherwise the lesson’s estimate.
The School page, a child’s Records and the state report all show the same totals, by school year.
The gradebook
Grade every lesson, or only the tests.
Grade a lesson from Today or from its course. Each child’s gradebook shows every course with its current grade, its trend, progress, missing work and the latest scores.
How a course is counted
Every point the same, weighted categories such as Quizzes and Tests, or simply how many lessons are passed or mastered. You choose per course.
Terms
Quarters, semesters, a full year or your own dates. Pick a term to see that stretch of the year.
Portfolio
Add a photo of graded work from the grade sheet and it is kept for that child, by course.
No AI in the grade
Grades, report cards and transcripts are worked out from the scores you enter.
Report cards and transcripts
A report card each term, and a transcript for high school.
A report card has the term’s grades, the days of school and a comment from you on each course. It prints as a PDF with a signature line.
The high-school transcript lists courses by school year with the grade, credits and level, and works out weighted and unweighted GPA for each year and overall. Switch a course on with High school credit in its grading, or add a course taken somewhere else by hand. The PDF carries a signature line for the parent as administrator. It is your record, signed by you; Doorpost does not certify it.
Grades, attendance and the transcript also download as spreadsheets, for an evaluator, an umbrella school or your own files.

Co-op and hybrid
For the weeks that are not all at home.
Homeschooling is not one shape, so Doorpost asks one question about each child and shows that child the tools that fit.
- All at home
- Lessons from the courses you plan, to tick off on the wall or in the app.
- Attendance, recorded when a lesson is ticked off.
- The gradebook, report cards, a high-school transcript and state report PDFs for Pennsylvania, New York, Texas, Florida, Ohio, Virginia, California, Colorado, Illinois, North Carolina, Washington, Maryland, Minnesota, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Missouri, Arizona and Michigan.
- At home, plus a weekly co-op or community day
- Everything a child taught at home gets.
- The co-op day marked on the week as a Co-op day.
- The week's co-op memory work on the wall and in the child's own view.
- At a school some days, at home the others
- You pick the days at the school. Those days get the homework tools and the other days are home days with lessons.
- From the school side: classes, homework, tests, a reading log and report cards.
- From the home side: attendance and the gradebook for the courses you teach.
- At a school every weekday
- A homework list sorted into Overdue, Due today, Due tomorrow and Later, which the child can tick off and add to.
- Tests and quizzes on the family calendar, with a reminder to parents the day before.
- Classes and teachers, the school's days off and early releases, a reading log, and report cards you upload or type in.
- Not in school yet
- Nothing to keep up with. School stays out of the way until you change the answer.
For a co-op, put in the day it meets, the term it runs and this week’s memory work for any subject. It shows on the wall and in each child’s view, where a tap hides the words to make a quiz, and it is read aloud on devices that can speak. A small library keeps links, files and notes by week.
All of it stays inside your family. A shared circle for the families of one co-op is planned and is not open. More about co-op
Reading and service
Two records, and where each one stops today.
The reading log
A child at a school or a hybrid school logs a book and the minutes, from the wall or their own device, and you see the minutes week by week. A child taught only at home does not have a reading log yet.
Service hours
The family service log keeps what was done, who it was for and the hours, totalled by month and by year. It is not in the app's menu yet, and it is kept apart from school records, so the hours are not printed on the transcript or the state report.
State reporting
State report PDFs for 18 states.
Set your state in Settings and Doorpost fills that state’s document from the attendance, courses and hours already in the record, so nothing is typed twice.

Doorpost formats your records. It is not legal advice, so check your state’s current rules before you file.
More states are coming, and each is added only after its form has been checked against that state’s rules. If yours is missing, write to hello@ourdoorpost.com and tell us which one you need.
Pick the curriculum tonight. Monday's lessons are on the wall.
School is set per child, so a brother or sister at a school down the road gets a homework list instead.
