Choosing well

How do I choose a homeschool curriculum?

Choose a homeschool curriculum by reading its full scope and sequence before you pay, checking one real unit that matters to you, working out the price for your whole family per year, trying a real lesson, and finding out how much of your time each grade needs, and any curriculum worth buying lets you do all five first.

1. Read the whole thing

A publisher confident in its content publishes all of it. Clareza's 71 courses are readable in full, every unit, skill and objective, with no account.

2. Check one unit that matters to you

If you want secular science, ask to see the unit where evolution is taught, not a statement about it. In Clareza it is a unit in Grade 9 Biology, and you can read it now.

3. Do the per-family arithmetic

Take the monthly price, multiply by the number of children and by twelve. Clareza is $29 a month for every child in the household, so $348 a year for one child or four.

4. Try a lesson

A sample tells you more than a feature list. Clareza has three complete lessons at /sample with no account, and 30 days free with a card taken and nothing charged until day 30.

5. Ask how much of you it needs

It differs by age. In Clareza, kindergarten to Grade 2 science and social studies are activities you lead, and from Grade 3 Clara teaches the lessons while you check the dashboard.

When Clareza is the wrong choice

  • If you want a classical, Charlotte Mason, unschooling or literature-based approach, this is not it.
  • If you want mostly offline, book-based school, this is screen-based outside PE and the K-2 activities.
  • If you need an accredited school or a diploma, Clareza is a curriculum and offers neither.

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).

Questions parents ask

What should I look for in a homeschool curriculum?

A full scope and sequence you can read before paying, a price that works for your whole family per year, a lesson you can try, and an honest answer on how much parent time each grade needs.

How can I tell if a curriculum is really secular?

Ask to see the actual evolution unit and how old the earth science course says the Earth is, and whether you can read every course before paying.

Should I buy one curriculum for every subject?

It keeps records and price in one place. Clareza covers every core subject K-12 plus electives in one family subscription.
