NEW 2014-2015 School Calendars

NEW 2014-2015 School Calendars are now available for FREE on our website.

Portrait and Landscape views to replace the outdated 2013-2014 School Calendar. Don't follow the school year? We'll be offering traditional calendar year calendars as well.

Coming Soon!

We are adding several different calendar options to our popular Freedom Educators Homeschool Planner for the 2014-2015 school year. We are adding a couple of monthly calendars and a few different styles of yearly calendars to aide families in tracking yearly attendance and basic planning.

How do I use the Yearly Calendar?

One popular use of the yearly calendar is a simplified attendance. We circle the days that the children are actively pursuing education. We also write in our annual breaks and notes if a child is sick or otherwise "absent" in the notes sections of our current Portrait and Landscape yearly calendars.

Why would I need a monthly calendar?

Some find it easier to look at a monthly in order to plan the basic outings and scheduled classes or events. The monthly calendar may also be used for attendance and planning.

Should I plan by days, weeks, months, or years?

That is really up to your personal needs. However, we find that for documentation purposes having a yearly attendance and closing out your year by the school year is most preferred by those who are accountable to someone in their state or for those who want the peace of mind of having records "just in case". Monthly planning is useful for unit studies, planning outings and events, as well as to see how your month flows.

Weekly planning is probably the most important planning tool possible. This is easily managed with our several styles of weekly planners. With weeks, it is a small enough chunk of planned time to make changes quickly and to track reporting of your older Love of Learners and Scholar Phase children. Plus, it is mighty handy for the adult navigating these phases of their education as well. In fact, most families report that the planner was more useful to them as parents than they thought it would be for their own education.
