Every tool a homeschool family needs.
Core academics done right — plus the life skills most schools never get to. One subscription. Everything included.
A tutor who draws as she teaches.
Ms. Vector takes any topic — fractions, the American Revolution, the water cycle, cellular respiration — and teaches it like the best teacher you ever had. Real pen strokes, real-time narration, color-coded diagrams, age-tuned vocabulary. It feels like watching someone discover the subject with your child. And it's the feature we improve the most — sharper, smarter, deeper every week.
- Type any topic, watch a full lesson play out
- Hand-drawn animated diagrams, not stock graphics
- Voice narration synced to every pen stroke
- Interactive — students can pause, ask, replay
- Actively improved weekly — every subscription gets every upgrade
Reading practice that actually listens.
A built-in microphone hears your child read aloud, word by word. Scores accuracy and fluency. Highlights the words they stumbled on. Generates targeted drills for the specific gaps. Parents see weekly progress charts — not vague 'they're doing fine' reports.
- Live speech recognition tuned for kid voices
- Pause anytime — pick up where you left off
- Phonetic + homophone tolerance so honest readers aren't penalized
- Auto-generated drills for stumble words
- Wake lock keeps the screen on during long sessions
- Parent dashboard with weekly trends
A patient tutor for any question.
When a student gets stuck — on a math problem, a writing prompt, a science concept, a history question — they can ask in plain words. The tutor explains step-by-step, asks Socratic questions, draws follow-up problems. Never “here's the answer.” Always “here's how to think about it.”
- Chat in plain English about any subject
- Step-by-step explanations, age-tuned
- Socratic prompts, not just answers
- Photo-of-the-problem support

- K–12 sequences for every core subject

The stuff school never gets to.
Most families who homeschool are doing it specifically so their kids learn the things that actually matter — the practical, real-world skills traditional schools skip entirely. Hearthslate makes that a first-class part of the curriculum, not a hobby on the side.
- Personal finance — budgeting, saving, investing, taxes, credit
- Cooking and nutrition — meal planning, basic cooking, food science
- Communication — public speaking, writing emails, conflict resolution
- Time management and productivity — habits, planning, focus
- Civic literacy — how government works in practice, voting, jury duty
- Career exploration — trades, entrepreneurship, freelancing, college vs. apprenticeship
- Home repair and maintenance — basic tools, plumbing, electrical, sewing, car care
- Mental health and emotional intelligence
- Digital literacy — online safety, basic coding, AI literacy
Never miss a deadline. Never wonder what you owe.
Every state has its own rules — letter of intent, attendance hours, portfolio reviews, standardized tests, evaluations. Hearthslate knows your state's requirements, tracks what's due, and prepares the paperwork. One dashboard, zero guesswork.
- State-by-state requirement tracking
- Deadline reminders + auto-generated forms
- Portfolio and evaluation prep
- Audit-ready records on demand
