Homeschool Planner

Homeschool weekly planner

Plan the homeschool week, subject by subject.

Rows are subjects, columns are the days of the week. Fill each cell with the day's lesson, reading, or assignment.

Homeschool weekly planner with subject rows down the left and Monday-to-Friday columns
Subjects down the side, school days across — one week per printed page. The generator above builds yours from the options you choose.

Free homeschool planner printable — weekly, by subject

List the subjects (math, reading, science, history, art) down the left; the columns are the school days. Type the week's lessons and assignments into the fillable cells or write them in, and generate as many weeks as your term needs. Print one sheet per student for a multi-child homeschool.

Homeschool lesson planner, attendance and the school year

This is the weekly planning sheet. For a formal period-by-period layout use the lesson plan template; for a record of days taught, the attendance sheet; and for the whole August-to-July year on one page, the academic calendar template.

Tips for the best result

Plan the week on Sunday evening. 20-30 minutes with the previous week's plan + the curriculum gives you the upcoming week. Doing it day-by-day during morning chaos rarely works.

Block subjects, don't just list them. "Math 9-10am" lets the kid see when, not just what. The cells are big enough for a time + activity ("9-10 Math: pp 87-92").

Mark what didn't get done in red. Reschedule into next week's plan. The visible red is honest — it tells you which subject is consistently slipping and might need re-budgeting.

Friday is for catch-up, not new content. The family-friendly schedule plans Mon-Thu for new material and uses Friday for finishing what slipped, library / field trips, or co-op. Builds in a buffer.

Frequently asked questions

How does this differ from the Teacher Lesson Planner?
Layout is similar, intent is different. Teacher Lesson Planner has rows for class periods (Period 1, Period 2, etc.) — built for a teacher running the same subject across multiple classes. The Homeschool Planner has rows for subjects (Math, Reading, Science, History) — built for one teacher teaching multiple subjects to one or more kids. Pick whichever matches your workflow.
What subjects should I include?
Most US homeschool weekly plans cover: Math, Language Arts (reading + writing), Science, History/Social Studies, plus one or two of: Art, Music, PE, Foreign Language, Bible/Faith, Logic. Some families also block out "Project Time" or "Co-op Day" as a row. Skip subjects you teach less than weekly — they belong in a different planning artifact.
How many days a week of school is typical?
Most US homeschoolers do 4-5 days. 4-day weeks (Mon-Thu) leave Friday for co-op, field trips, library day, or catch-up — popular with families who do enrichment outside the home. 5-day mirrors the public-school week.
How do I handle multiple kids with different curricula?
Print one sheet per kid. Or use one sheet with the row labels split: "Math (younger)," "Math (older)," "Science (both)," etc. The shared-rows approach saves paper but gets cluttered past 2 kids — print-per-kid is usually cleaner.
Where does the printable planner fit alongside curriculum apps?
Curriculum apps (Homeschool Tracker, Sonlight Plans, AOS) handle scope-and-sequence and grading. The printable planner is the daily worksheet — what does this week's work look like, what got done, what didn't. Many homeschool families use both: app for the year plan, paper for the week.
What about state attendance requirements?
Check your state's specific requirements — some require attendance logs, hours-of-instruction tracking, or subject-coverage records. The Classroom Attendance template handles attendance logging; this planner records weekly work but isn't formatted as an official attendance log.
