How to use it
- Add your child. Under each grade level, add the courses you mean to take, with the subject area and the credits. A note can hold the text or program you plan to use.
- Type the credits you want in each subject area, or fill in a common starting point and change it. Check what the colleges and scholarships you care about publish, because they differ.
- Watch the table of credits earned, planned and still to find. When a course begins, press Move to the transcript; it joins the transcript with no grade, ready for its grade.
- Press Print the four-year plan for a one-page view of all four years. Download a backup now and then, because the records live only in this browser.
Ideas for class
- Sketch all four years in one sitting in 8th grade, then revisit the plan every spring.
- Mark the courses that need a lab, an outside teacher or a dual enrollment so you can book them early.
- Leave room in 11th and 12th grade for electives that grow out of what your teen loves.
- Look up the admissions pages of two or three colleges and type the credits they list as your targets.

Questions
How many credits do I need to graduate?
There is no single number. In many places the parent sets the graduation requirements for a homeschool diploma, while colleges, scholarships and some state programs publish their own expectations. Type the credits you want in each area; this page does not fill in a required number, and its starting point is only a common pattern.
What is the starting point, and where does it come from?
It is four credits of English, three each of math, science and social studies, two of world language, and one each of fine arts and PE and health. Many college-preparatory guides use a pattern like it. It is not a rule of any state or college, so change it to match what you read.
How does the plan connect to the transcript?
Courses on the transcript count as earned credit in the table, and planned courses count as planned. When you press Move to the transcript the course leaves the plan and joins the transcript, so it is never counted twice. Add its grade there.
What happens if I clear my browser's data?
The records go with it. They are kept only in this browser, not on our servers, so we cannot get them back. Download a backup file now and then; it holds everything, and you can restore it on any computer.
Is anything I type sent to Peabody?
No. The names, courses and notes stay in this browser on this computer. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and the page works the same offline once it has loaded.
