Five, six or more kids
How do you homeschool five or more kids?
Teach some subjects to everyone together, give older children work they can do on their own, spend your one-to-one time on the youngest learners, and keep a simple daily rhythm rather than a tight timetable. Nobody covers everything every day with six children, and that is fine.
Teach together where you can
Read-alouds, history, science projects, art and music work across ages, with older children doing more. Math and reading are the subjects that usually need each child's own level.
Rotate your attention
Start with the children who need you most, often the beginning readers, while older ones work on their own. Older children reading to younger ones helps both.
A rhythm, not a timetable
A fixed order, such as chores, together time, independent work, then a free afternoon, holds up better than clock times when the baby wakes early.
Where Clareza fits
$29 a month covers every child in the household, each with their own login and grade. From Grade 3 up Clara teaches each lesson, so those children can work while you sit with a younger one. Kindergarten phonics and math run on screen and are read aloud, with you close by. Price and setup are at /homeschool-curriculum/homeschool-curriculum-for-multiple-children.
What this is not
- Clareza does not teach siblings together. There are no family or group lessons, so the together subjects are yours.
- K-2 science and social studies are done with you, not on screen alone.
- Children working at the same time each need their own device, and Clara is an AI that can be wrong. Check in on each child.

Questions parents ask
How do I homeschool older kids with a toddler at home?
Do focused work during naps or quiet time, keep a box of toys only for school time, and let older children work on their own.
Can older kids homeschool independently?
Many can, with a daily check-in. Independence grows with practice, so start with one subject.
Does Clareza cost more for a big family?
No. $29 a month covers every child in the household.
