Public-school enrollment
Some home learning programs keep students enrolled in a public school. The school handles records, attendance, state reporting, and graduation requirements while instruction happens at home.
Homeschool families
More support for learning at home
Every family’s path looks different. Fullmind helps schools extend live, teacher-led learning into the home so students can follow a structured program, stay connected, and receive support matched to their needs.
Ask about options in your areaFullmind may help when your student needs
- A live state-certified teacher
- A complete or supplemental course
- Flexible scheduling around family needs
- Additional academic or special education support
Start with your school or district
Fullmind is primarily a school and district partner. Availability, enrollment, schedules, curriculum, and funding depend on the public school or program serving your family. Ask your school whether it offers Fullmind or another Fullmind-supported home learning option.
Live instruction
Students meet educators in real time instead of working only through self-paced software. They can ask questions, practice, receive feedback, and build a consistent relationship with a teacher.
Family direction
Families continue guiding routines, pacing, and day-to-day learning at home, while the school and Fullmind provide instructional structure and professional teaching support.
A manageable rhythm
Evidence of learning without turning home into an office
Many public-school learning-at-home programs begin with a flexible education plan, use brief weekly learning logs to document activity and attendance, and coordinate required assessments. Exact expectations differ by state and partner program, but the goal is consistent: keep the family’s part clear and light while the school team handles formal reporting.
Practical resources
Build a learning plan that fits your student
Open educational resources
Free materials can supply a course, fill a gap, or add enrichment. Start with trusted sources such as OER Commons, CK-12, OpenStax, OER Project, PBS LearningMedia, and MIT OpenCourseWare.
Check the license, preview for quality and age fit, and save strong resources because free libraries can change.
Keep young learners engaged
Use short focused blocks, build in movement and choice, connect lessons to everyday life, and treat frustration or stalling as a cue to adjust the material or take a break.
Celebrate persistence and progress rather than perfect work.
Use resources as ingredients
No single curriculum has to do everything. Many families combine a dependable core with open lessons, hands-on projects, books, local experiences, and live teacher support.
Planning purchases and learning materials
Some partner programs provide family education funds. Amounts, release schedules, purchasing processes, and eligible items are program-specific—confirm current details before making a purchase.
Common educational uses
Programs may approve curriculum, books, manipulatives, course-related supplies, single-student educational software, learning technology, lessons, instrument rental, assessments, and educational field experiences.
Common exclusions
Entertainment devices, cellular phones and watches, food, general clothing, cash or gift cards, furniture, medical items, family-wide memberships, and anything unrelated to the student’s learning are commonly excluded.
The simple test
Can the item be clearly tied to your student’s education? If yes, it may qualify. If its main purpose is entertainment, household use, or personal use, it likely will not. Ask before purchasing.

Frequently asked questions
What families often want to know
Is Fullmind a homeschool curriculum I can purchase directly?
Fullmind typically works through schools and districts rather than selling a stand-alone curriculum directly to families. Your local program determines enrollment, curriculum, and availability.
Does my child become a public school student?
That depends on the program. In a district-supported home learning model, your student may remain enrolled in a public school, which manages records, attendance, testing, and state requirements.
Are classes live or self-paced?
Fullmind instruction is live and teacher-led. A school may also provide independent assignments, learning platforms, or offline work around scheduled classes.
Who teaches my child?
Fullmind sessions are led by state-certified educators matched to the subject and program. Fullmind teachers average 14 years of classroom experience.
Can Fullmind support an IEP or special education services?
Fullmind can support school-designed programs that include special education instruction and related services. Your child’s school remains responsible for the IEP process, placement, and service decisions.
What does a typical day look like?
Schedules vary. Students may attend live classes, complete independent work, meet with support staff, and follow a family-managed daily routine. Your school provides the official schedule and attendance expectations.
Can my child play sports or join activities in our resident district?
Eligibility varies by state, district, and enrollment status. Ask your resident district before enrolling so you understand its extracurricular participation rules.
How is progress shared?
Teachers document attendance and learning progress, and school teams determine how reports, grades, and records are shared with families. Authorized users may also review recorded sessions when available.
Is student information secure?
Fullmind is SOC 2 compliant and maintains safeguards designed to support schools’ FERPA, COPPA, and applicable privacy obligations. Access is limited to authorized users.
How much does it cost?
Costs depend on the school or program. Some public-school partnerships are provided to eligible families without tuition; private tutoring through iTutor is priced separately.
How do we get started?
Contact your school or district to ask whether a Fullmind-supported program is available. You can also contact Fullmind so our team can help identify the appropriate next step.
What do families usually need to document?
Requirements vary. A public-school home learning program may ask for an initial education plan, short weekly learning logs, evidence of engagement, and participation in—or a formal opt-out from—applicable assessments.
Can we choose our curriculum?
Many family programs allow meaningful curriculum choice within program standards and purchasing rules. Confirm approved materials, required subjects, and documentation expectations with your specific school.
Can my child opt out of standardized testing?
Testing and opt-out rules depend on state law and the enrolling program. Your school should explain required assessments, available opt-out procedures, and any effects on enrollment.
Is there funding for curriculum and materials?
Some partner programs offer education funds or school-purchased materials, but this is not universal. Funding amounts, release dates, approved uses, and reimbursement rules are specific to each program.
How do school-managed education funds work?
Where offered, families generally submit a request explaining how an item supports learning. The program reviews it, purchases or pays the vendor directly, and deducts the approved amount from the student’s available balance. Do not assume an item is reimbursable without prior approval.
Where can I find free curriculum resources?
Start with OER Commons, CK-12, OpenStax, OER Project, PBS LearningMedia, MIT OpenCourseWare, Internet Archive, or an OER metasearch tool. Check usage rights: not every free resource is openly licensed for adaptation.
