YourHomeschool vs Education.com
Education.com is a very large library of ready-made material. YourHomeschool is a taught program with a scope and sequence. If you already know what you are teaching and just need resources, those are different needs — here is how they compare.
The short answer
Pick Education.com if you are the teacher, you know your plan, and you want a deep well of printables and games to pull from — especially in the early grades.
Pick YourHomeschool if you want the program itself: what to teach, in what order, taught to the child, with records at the end of it.

What Education.com does well
- The library is genuinely enormous, and for grab-and-go practice in the early grades it is hard to beat.
- kidSAFE certified and ad-free — a real trust signal for parents of young children.
- A free tier exists, so you can see the material before paying anything.
- One membership covers the whole household.
Where the two models differ most
It is not a curriculum
It supplies materials, not a plan or the teaching. Families who want to be handed a sequence — and want the child taught — tend to outgrow it.
Thin above grade 8
Coverage skews heavily to the early grades, so it stops being a complete answer as children get older.
Choice overload
Tens of thousands of items is a strength and a weakness; without a plan it is easy to lose time choosing.
What we charge
$199 per child for a full 12-month school year — everything included: all eight subjects, the bilingual parent helper, the parent dashboard, exams and study plans, and printable transcripts and records. No per-subject add-ons, no tiers.
One license per child; every child is added to the same parent login with one combined dashboard. The license does not auto-renew and no card is kept on file.
Annual billing gives two months free on every plan. A 7-day free trial needs no card, and the placement check is free without an account.
