Homeschool Curriculum
An online homeschool curriculum that covers every core subject
Our American curriculum covers English language arts, math, science, and social studies at every grade, plus electives as students reach high school. Coursework is secular, standards-aligned, and mastery-based, so a Springfield student moves to the next lesson only once the current one is actually understood.
High schoolers build toward a full transcript through our individual online courses and high school course catalog, with certified teachers grading work along the way. Families who need to fill gaps after switching from a Clark County school can use credit recovery to catch a student back up without repeating material already mastered.
Subject Spotlight
Homeschool math and science curriculum built for mastery
Homeschool Math Curriculum
From arithmetic through pre-calculus, lessons build sequentially and a student only advances after demonstrating mastery, not once a unit calendar says it’s time.
Homeschool Science Curriculum
Biology, chemistry, and physics with lab components a student can complete at home, building toward the lab-science credits colleges expect.
English & Language Arts
Reading comprehension, composition, and literature analysis sequenced by grade, with certified-teacher feedback on writing assignments.

K-12 Grade Bands
Kindergarten through 12th grade, one program
Siblings at different ages stay under one provider instead of juggling separate programs. A student who starts in elementary school can continue straight through to a diploma without switching platforms.
Elementary (K–5)
Younger students work through phonics, handwriting, and early math in short daily blocks, with a parent close by to guide the routine while it’s still forming.
Middle School (6–8)
Algebra, life science, and U.S. history arrive alongside more responsibility for the student to manage their own pace, the natural bridge our online middle school track is built around.
High School (9–12)
Credit-bearing coursework through our online high school track adds up to a real transcript, the same document a Springfield graduate hands to a college admissions office or an employer.

Ohio Home Education Law
What Clark County families must file
The paperwork side of homeschooling in Ohio is lighter than most new families expect. Ohio Revised Code Section 3321.04 asks for one annual notice to the district superintendent, a running log of 900 instructional hours, and coverage of the state’s core subject list. There’s no bubble-sheet exam to sit for; a portfolio review or a nationally normed test satisfies the assessment piece, whichever the family prefers.
Current requirements are published by the Ohio Department of Education and summarized by HSLDA’s Ohio legal page, both worth bookmarking. New Clark County families rarely file this notice on their own the first time; our enrollment team walks through the exact wording and timing during onboarding so nothing gets kicked back for a technicality.
Keep a simple running log of instructional hours as you go, a notebook or a spreadsheet updated weekly, rather than trying to reconstruct 900 hours from memory at the end of the year. Ohio doesn’t require you to submit it, but if a district ever asks, having it ready takes five minutes instead of a weekend.
Trends
The numbers behind the shift toward homeschooling
The jump in home-based education that started in 2020 didn’t reverse once schools reopened; NCES survey data shows participation settling well above where it sat before.
Ohio consistently ranks among the states with the largest homeschooling populations, and HSLDA’s family surveys point to schedule control as the reason families give most often.
Within homeschooling broadly, the online and hybrid format is the segment growing fastest, largely because it gives families real curriculum structure without locking them into a fixed clock.
Accreditation, Diploma & Outcomes
Where Springfield graduates go next
A diploma from an accredited program only matters if the paperwork behind it holds up, so every graduate leaves with an official transcript listing course titles, credit hours, and grades, exactly what admissions staff at Wittenberg University or Clark State College ask to see before anything else.
Not every Springfield graduate is headed straight to a four-year campus, and the paperwork doesn’t assume otherwise. A student enlisting, entering an apprenticeship, or going straight into a trade gets the identical course catalog and grade history, because that’s usually exactly what the next application asks for too.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is online homeschooling legal in Springfield, Ohio?
It is, and has been for decades. The process for a Springfield family boils down to a yearly notice to the district superintendent, a log tracking 900 hours of instruction, and coverage of the state’s core subjects. There’s no statewide exam to sit for, and attendance is tracked by the family rather than a school office.
How is online homeschool different from Springfield City Schools or an Ohio eSchool?
Ohio’s eSchools are chartered public schools, so a student enrolled there is still counted, tested, and tracked by the state just like any brick-and-mortar district building, only the classroom is a screen. Homeschooling under Ohio’s home-education law removes that layer entirely: the family, not a public school, decides the pace, the curriculum, and how the day is structured, and the diploma comes from the school the family chose.
Can Springfield students enroll mid-year?
There’s no application window to wait for. A Clark County family can withdraw from a district building on a Tuesday and have a transcript review scheduled by Friday, with credits mapped in before the next Monday.
Will Wittenberg University or Clark State College accept an online homeschool diploma?
Yes. Wittenberg and Clark State both evaluate our transcripts the same way they evaluate any other applicant’s: coursework titles, credit hours, and grades. We supply that documentation, along with GPA calculations, directly to whichever admissions office a graduate applies to.
Does a Springfield parent need a teaching license to homeschool?
No teaching credential is required under Ohio law. The heavier lifting, grading assignments and answering subject questions, is handled by our certified teachers, which leaves the parent to manage the schedule and stay involved without having to relearn algebra.
How much does online homeschool cost in Springfield?
Rather than billing per class the way a college does, tuition is one flat rate that covers the full curriculum, teacher support, and transcript work. Ask a counselor about current pricing on the intake call; it’s easier to explain in a five-minute conversation than a spreadsheet.
What does a typical school day look like?
It looks like whatever the household needs it to. One family runs school before a part-time shift starts; another spreads lessons around a sibling’s after-school practice schedule. Nobody is waiting on a bell, and nobody has to ask permission to rearrange the day.
Can a Springfield student graduate early or take dual-enrollment credit?
Yes, on both counts. A student who finishes coursework ahead of schedule can simply keep going toward remaining credits, and ambitious students often layer in college-level coursework through a local partner like Clark State while still finishing their high school transcript with us.
