What Delaware actually asks of a family teaching their own children. Written plainly, and honest where the answer is that nobody asks for anything.

The part the paperwork does not cover

Filing on time is the easy half. The harder half is the year in between: showing what your child actually learned, in words the reviewer recognises, without turning your home into a school.

That is what this app is for. You say what your child did, in a sentence. It maps that to the real curriculum for Delaware and builds the record you can hand over the day someone asks. See how it works.
