Homeschool Subjects and Workbooks Guide

Homeschool Flex separates subjects and workbooks to keep curriculum planning simple and flexible.

For a full system overview, see: How Homeschool Flex Works

Step 1: Creating a Subject

A subject only requires three fields:

• Subject name
• Category
• Grade level

That is all.

Students and subjects do not have to match grade levels. Real students often progress at different speeds in different subjects.

You can assign any subject to any student.

Why Subjects Are Separate From Workbooks

A subject represents the long-term academic category (Math, Reading, History). A workbook represents a specific curriculum or book inside that subject.

This structure allows:

• Multiple books under one subject
• Flexible pacing
• Accurate reporting
• Easy rescheduling

Step 2: Creating a Workbook

Once a subject is created, you can create a workbook.

Each workbook includes:

• Subject
• Grade level
• Book name
• Lessons, quizzes, and tests (in order)

Lessons are entered in the sequence they will be completed. This allows the entire workbook to be scheduled automatically.

Scheduling an Entire Workbook

After creating a workbook, you can schedule all lessons at once.

Select:

• Student
• Workbook
• Start date

The system places lessons only on active school days for that student.

Manual Lessons Without Workbooks

Workbooks are optional.

You can schedule lessons manually under a subject without creating a workbook. This supports fully custom curriculum planning.

Using AI With Subjects and Workbooks

If you do not have a structured workbook, AI can create a lesson schedule based on your description.

Example:

• “Schedule 15 science lessons starting next week.”
• “Add an extra math lesson every Monday.”

The AI respects:

• Active school days
• Existing lessons
• Selected student

Simple Curriculum Management

Subjects define the academic structure. Workbooks define the lesson sequence. Together, they allow flexible and structured homeschooling without unnecessary setup.
