Exactly what is free here

Is there a free secular homeschool curriculum?

Clareza Academy is not a free curriculum, but a real part of it is free: seven printable units from the secular K-12 curriculum are free PDFs with no email and no account, all 71 courses can be read in full without paying, and three complete sample lessons open with no card. The full curriculum, with Clara, the AI teacher built into the lessons, is $29 a month for every child in the household after 30 free days.

The seven free printable units

Learning to Read: First Sounds, First Words (kindergarten to Grade 2 phonics, 6 lessons). Grade 1 Math: Counting, Comparing, and the Number Line. Grade 3 Math: Equal Groups, Arrays, and the Meaning of Multiplication. Grade 3 Reading: Finding the Evidence. Grade 4 Math: Place Value to One Million. Grade 6 Math: Ratios and Rate Reasoning. Grade 9 Biology: The Chemistry of Life. Each is the first unit of the matching Clareza course, at clarezaacademy.com/free/ followed by learning-to-read, grade-1-math, grade-3-math, grade-3-reading, grade-4-math, grade-6-math or grade-9-biology.

What is inside each unit

Every lesson has a short script for the parent, a page to read together and a practice sheet, and the answers are included. There is no email gate and no account. If you want the second unit of the same course, it is free too: leave your email on the unit's page and it arrives a week later.

Every course is free to read

All 71 courses, kindergarten through twelfth grade, are published in full: every unit, skill and learning objective in teaching order, with no account and no card. The scope and sequence page puts the whole curriculum on one printable page. Reading it is free and always will be.

Three full lessons, free to try

The sample page at /sample has three complete lessons: Grade 4 place value, Grade 7 reading arguments and high school biology. No card, no account and no email. It is the quickest way to see how Clara teaches before anything is paid.

What costs money

Using the curriculum with your children is $29 a month for the whole household, or $290 a year. The first 30 days are free: a card is taken at signup and nothing is charged until day 30, and cancelling before then costs nothing at all.

Being straight about "free"

There is no free tier. After the first 30 days, using the curriculum with a child costs $29 a month for the family.
The free printables are the first unit of seven courses, plus Unit 2 by email. They are not a whole free year in any grade.
A card is needed to start the 30 free days. Nothing is charged until day 30, but the card is taken up front.

Before your child starts: what we collect and why

We collect only what it takes to teach your child: the first name and sign-in you choose, their answers and progress, and their chat with Clara (written by Anthropic's AI, read aloud by OpenAI). Nobody trains AI on it or sells it, and you can see or delete it any time. You create your child's account yourself. Paying by card is how you give consent.

Read what we collect and why

Your consent is needed before we collect anything from your child, and we collect nothing without it. You create your child's account yourself; they never sign up alone.

What we collect from your child: the first name and sign-in you choose, their answers, time on lessons and progress, and their chat with Clara. Used to run the lessons, build their transcript and show you how they are doing.
Who else handles it: Anthropic (an AI company) receives the chat text and the lesson, with your child's first name but no last name or account details, to write Clara's replies. That is how Clara works, so it is part of the service. If you switch on answering out loud for a child, their voice is turned into text on our own server and then discarded; it is never sent to another company. OpenAI turns lesson text and Clara's replies (which can include your child's first name) into the read-aloud voice. Our email provider sends you reports about your child. Nobody trains AI on your child's data, and nobody sells it.
Your rights: see everything collected from your child, have it deleted, or stop further collection at any time, from your account or by emailingour support address. If you refuse the AI sharing above, Clara cannot teach, so the service cannot run. Chats are deleted after 30 days.
Safety: if your child writes something suggesting they may be hurt or in danger, we email you and Clareza's owner the same day.

Paying by card is how you give consent. Full details, including how long we keep each thing: Privacy Policy (version 2026-10-05).
