The homeschool curriculum planner

A homeschool curriculum planner that maps books to weeks to a whole year.

Load your curriculum, map lessons to a schedule, and Rosie'sHQ turns a full year into a rolling weekly plan that flexes when life happens.

What is a homeschool curriculum planner?

A homeschool curriculum planner is a system for mapping a body of curriculum — a math textbook, a reading list, a history spine — onto a specific calendar so you know which lesson belongs to which day. It's the layer that sits between 'buy a curriculum' and 'do school today'. Without one, families end up either winging it every morning (exhausting) or falling behind and cramming in April (worse).

A curriculum planner differs from a general homeschool planner in scope. A homeschool planner schedules the WEEK (what's on Tuesday?). A curriculum planner schedules the YEAR (which chapter of the math book do we hit by Christmas?). Rosie'sHQ does both — you load the curriculum, set the target pace (e.g. 4 math lessons per week), and the app fans it out across the school year with auto-shifting when weeks get skipped.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to plan a homeschool curriculum?

Start with the year total (how many lessons in the curriculum) and divide by target school days (typically 150-180). That gives you the daily pace. Then map the lessons to a recurring template like "Math Mon-Fri" and let the calendar populate. Rosie'sHQ does all of this arithmetic automatically once you enter the curriculum length.

How do I plan homeschool curriculum for multiple children?

Two patterns work: (1) family-style — same curriculum, different pace per child (great for history, science, read-alouds), or (2) per-child — different curriculum per child (typical for math, reading). Rosie'sHQ supports both, with sibling linking for family-style lessons.

What if I fall behind on my homeschool curriculum plan?

The auto-shift feature slides every remaining lesson forward by however many weeks you skip. If you're at risk of not finishing by year-end, the compliance forecaster warns you weeks in advance so you can add sessions or adjust the target pace.

Can I mix curricula from different publishers?

Yes — this is called eclectic homeschooling and it's how most experienced families end up after year 1. Load each curriculum into the vault and set independent pacing per subject.

How is curriculum planning different from lesson planning?

Curriculum planning is the YEAR view — which chapter, which unit, which lesson happens which week. Lesson planning is the DAY view — what specifically do we do at 10 AM Tuesday. Rosie'sHQ handles both, but the year view is where most families spend their Sunday planning time.
