You be the teacher.
We’ll do everything else.

No. Arbor writes the lesson for you to teach and a worksheet you print, so a school day can happen entirely at the kitchen table with paper and a pencil. Print the lesson and you don't need a device open at all. Older students do real writing and research, and a teenager may type an essay or use a math program you picked, but that's your call. The screen is a tool here, never the teacher.

Mostly, and that's the point. The lesson comes written for you: what to say, in order, with the worksheet already printed, so you're reading along at the table instead of lecturing from memory. It usually takes fifteen to thirty minutes.

Older kids can take a subject on their own. Put it on your child's desk and they work through it themselves, with the worksheet checked against the answer key. You see how it went and the one question worth going over together. We suggest it for 6th grade and up, but you can turn it on for any age in Settings.

A few real lessons, each about fifteen to thirty minutes, and then you're done. For a younger kid that's usually an hour or two, most of it together. Arbor doesn't pile on subjects to make the day look full, and it doesn't add tests to prove it happened. When the work is done, they're done, and the afternoon is theirs.

No, and that's on purpose. There is no chatbot for children anywhere in Arbor. Arbor writes the lesson, you read it first, and you teach it, on paper if you print it. The AI is a tool on your side of the table, and your child never has to meet it.

$24.99 a month for your first child and $9.99 for each sibling. Or pay yearly: $249.99 for your first child and $99.90 for each sibling, 2 months free. Every kid after your third is free. Your first 14 days are free. You add a card to start, nothing is charged until the trial ends, and if you cancel before then you pay nothing. No contracts, and your plan and progress stay saved either way.

No, for almost everything. Arbor writes the lessons for reading, writing, math through Algebra II, science, history, and the rest of the core, so there's nothing to order. A few subjects are learned by doing, on a device or with an instrument, and for those Arbor helps you pick a real program and keeps it on the schedule. And if you already own a curriculum you love, keep it: tell Arbor which lesson you're on and it lays the rest of the book across your year. Or tell it what your kid has already covered and it picks up from there.

Arbor meets them where they are and adjusts. Master something and it moves on. Struggle and it slows down and adds practice. There's no grade-level box to feel boxed in by, and a kid can be ahead in one subject and steady in another.

Pre-K through 12th grade. Pre-K stays light on purpose: a few gentle subjects and short parent-led moments to get an almost-kindergartner ready, no pressure. High school works a little differently, because a transcript is built from courses and credits rather than grades, so Arbor plans it that way and tracks the progress behind it. Arbor writes the math sequence through Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II, with every answer key checked in code, and Biology, with labs done at home from kitchen and pharmacy things. We're still straight about what we don't write: calculus, chemistry and physics need a real program with real labs, and we help you pick one and keep it on the schedule.

A box hands you the material and leaves the teaching for you to work out. Arbor hands you the lesson itself, written for you to read and teach, at your kid's real level, with the worksheet printed and the year planned around it. And a box is frozen the day it ships. If it's too hard or too easy by October, Arbor adjusts the next lesson instead of you buying another box.

ChatGPT gives you a wall of text to turn into a lesson at midnight, and it forgets your family between chats. Arbor gives you the lesson in the shape a teacher's guide has, remembers each kid's level and what they've covered, schedules the week, prints the worksheet, and tracks the progress. We also pick the models with the best record for telling the truth and hold them to one narrow job, teaching this skill to this kid, so a lesson teaches the subject and not somebody's opinion about it.

Homeschooling is legal in every US state, and each state has its own rules. Arbor tracks attendance, hours, grades, and a portfolio of real work as you teach, so you always have everything you need to show what your family did. The report your state asks for is yours to make from it, and you sign it, because it's yours. Arbor isn't a school and this isn't legal advice, so always confirm your own state's requirements.
