Key takeaways
  • Time4Learning is an online homeschooling program for PreK-12 that offers a standards-aligned curriculum with engaging animated lessons and flexible pacing

Time4Learning is an online homeschooling program that provides a standards-aligned curriculum for students from PreK to 12th grade. It features animated lessons and flexible pacing, making learning fun and engaging.

As of 2024, 12 states have enacted universal or near-universal Education Savings Account (ESA) programs, with Arizona's program alone serving over 75,000 students — making state-funded homeschooling more accessible than ever (EdChoice, 2024). Research from the National Home Education Research Institute (NHERI) shows that homeschooled students typically score 15 to 25 percentile points higher than public school students on standardized academic achievement tests.

What is Time4Learning?

Time4Learning is an award-winning online homeschool program. For over 20 years, it has helped families learn at home. It’s subscription-based and offers animated lessons, interactive activities, videos, quizzes, and worksheets. The curriculum covers core subjects and meets educational standards. Owned by Cambium Learning Group, Time4Learning lets kids learn at their own pace. Keep in mind, it’s a curriculum provider, not a school, so they don’t issue transcripts or diplomas.

Subjects and grade levels

Time4Learning includes Math, Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies for PreK through 12th grade. High schoolers can also choose electives. The curriculum is aligned with educational standards but is secular, making it a good fit for families who want to manage religious education separately. Plus, if you're interested in foreign languages, you can add Time4Languages for $59.95 for a 6-month course covering 10 languages.

Key features for homeschool parents

The parent dashboard shows real-time progress and tracks time spent on tasks. You can generate printable reports by subject or activity. The Activity Planner helps you set up lesson schedules that adjust if you miss days. Students also access three years of curriculum—one grade below and one above their level—giving flexibility for different learning speeds. Plus, the platform is ad-free and a safe space for kids to learn.

ESA and state funding

Time4Learning is an approved vendor for Education Savings Account (ESA) programs in many states, including Arizona, Florida, and Texas. You can pay through ClassWallet and other platforms, so check if your state offers funding that covers subscription costs.

The bottom line

Time4Learning is a strong option for families wanting an online curriculum with automatic grading and progress tracking. Its interactive format is great for kids who prefer tech to textbooks. Plus, the multi-grade access supports kids working at different levels. Just remember, you need to keep your own records for college applications. Time4Learning is a curriculum tool, not an accredited school.

Co-founder, BetterSchool

Lisa is the co-founder of BetterSchool and a homeschool mom of three. BetterSchool administers the largest independent homeschool community in the country — over 350,000 families across all 50 states.

When COVID hit, Lisa and her husband pulled their children out of school and hit the road. Homeschooling wasn't the plan — it was a necessity. But somewhere along the way, the family fell in love with it: the time together, the ability to tailor lessons to each child's interests, learning at their own pace, the freedom to travel, eating healthy on their own schedule, and the countless other benefits that come with homeschooling.

As they traveled, Lisa kept discovering incredible hands-on learning experiences that most homeschool families had no way of finding. She built BetterSchool to make it easy for every family to find and book the experiences that make learning come alive.

Through her community, Lisa has helped hundreds of thousands of parents navigate homeschooling, while also helping local businesses find and serve the homeschool community. She is the former managing partner of a law firm focused on business law and mergers and acquisitions — BetterSchool is her second technology startup. She holds a J.D. from California Western School of Law and a B.A. from Penn State.
