Skhillz Homeschool Pod
You keep teaching. We bring the others.
Four six-week cohorts between October and May, live twice a week in a small pod of children the same age, plus a weekly plan for the days in between. Any state, entirely online, from $79 a month.
This does not become your child’s school.
You stay the one directing your child’s education. You choose the curriculum, you set the schedule, and you complete your own state’s filings, whether that is a Florida notice of intent or a New York IHIP. We are supplemental enrichment and never the school of record.
That means no report cards, no transcripts and no diplomas from us. You get a progress report each term for your own portfolio, which is a different thing and we will not pretend otherwise.
Cohort 1, on now
Explore, Build & Discover
October 12 to November 20
The first six weeks. Every pod explores a related idea at its own level, then shares what they made at the November Showcase.
Your child does not enroll in a new class every six weeks. While your membership is active they are in the current cohort for their age, and they move into the next one automatically.

Included with an active membership. No separate price for a cohort and nothing to buy again in January.
Four pods, by age.
Twelve children at most in each. Every pod studies the same concept at the same time, scaled to their age, so siblings in different pods talk about the same thing at dinner.

The week.
MondayHome Plan
Appears by 8am Eastern: the project to extend, reading and writing prompts, and the household things you will need.
TuesdayLive
Check-in, the STREAME lesson and a hands-on build, then everybody shows what they made.
WednesdayHome Plan
Yours to use, at your own pace.
ThursdayLive
The same cohort theme from a different direction: reading, writing, media, data or presenting.
FridayHome Plan
And once a month, the Showcase, where every pod presents and parents come.
The year.
Four cohorts of six weeks, each with a new theme, new projects and new Home Plans. Your membership carries your child into the next one. Open any of them to see what each pod does.

When we are closed
ThanksgivingNovember 25 to December 2
We are away. No live sessions and no Home Plan for this week.
Winter holidaysDecember 21 to January 8
Closed. Cohort 2 begins on January 11.
No live sessions on these days. These sit between the four cohorts rather than inside them, so no cohort is shortened by them.
What it costs.
$79
a month, first child
Nine payments for the pilot year, October to June. Nothing is charged in July or August. Cancel with 30 days notice.
$632
paid in full
The whole pilot year in one payment, which works out as one month free.
A second child in the same family is $59 a month, or $472 paid in full. You do not have to ask for it: we work it out when you enroll them.
How we keep it safe.
- Every facilitator passes a background check before their first session.
- Every session is recorded, kept 90 days, then deleted.
- Waiting room on. Only enrolled children are admitted, by name.
- No private chat and no one-to-one video between staff and a child. Everything goes through you, in the portal.
- An adult stays in the home during every session.
- Last names and locations stay off screen and out of chat.
The pilot opens Monday 12 October 2026.
Sign the membership agreement, tell us who is joining, and we will place each child in the pod for their age.
You will need a Skhillz account. If you do not have one, that is the first step and it takes a minute.
