Bowerstead
Read full descriptionHide full description
Bowerstead is a calm home for your homeschool records. Plan the week. Tap through the day as it happens. The record builds itself, so when someone asks what you covered, the answer is already written down. PLAN THE WAY YOUR WEEK ACTUALLY GOES Lay out subjects and time blocks for each child by day, week, or month, then check them off as the day happens. Nothing needs to go to plan for the record to stay accurate. CAPTURE IT WHILE IT IS FRESH A photo of the work, a note, a grade. Ten seconds now beats an hour of reconstruction on Sunday night. ATTENDANCE AND GRADES THAT STAY CURRENT Days taught and assessments come from the same taps you were already making, so they are up to date without a separate bookkeeping session. EVERY YEAR HELD SEPARATELY When a child moves up a grade, last year stays exactly as you left it. History does not get rewritten by this year's changes. YOURS TO TAKE WITH YOU Export your records whenever you want, in a form you can hand to whoever is asking. Delete your account and its data from inside the app. BUILT AROUND THE PARENT You are the only person who signs in. Children never get accounts, are never contacted, and never see the app. A paid plan is required to use Bowerstead.
