Problem
Homeschool families often spend extensive time manually creating schedules, tracking curriculum progress, and generating daily task lists, which reduces the time available for teaching and learning. Frequent changes to plans—such as illness or trips—require cumbersome adjustments, leading to disorganized records and reduced student independence.
Solution
OpenSky provides a cloud‑based homeschool planning platform that automates schedule creation, monitors curriculum completion, and delivers daily checklists to students. Users can upload a course outline and let AI generate structured courses in minutes, or select from a library of over 2,000 community‑built curriculum templates. The drag‑and‑drop interface supports block or traditional scheduling, and a single‑page checklist combines lessons, events, and attendance, allowing parents to reschedule with a click. Progress is visualized in real time, and the system syncs with Apple or Google calendars. Mobile apps for iOS and Android, plus printable views, ensure access wherever families are, while built‑in discussion threads and submission workflows support asynchronous learning and gradual student responsibility.
