MADE FOR GEORGIA FAMILIES
Georgia homeschool curriculum, built for your kids
Tell Kuraplan your children's ages. It plans the year around what Georgia expects, references the GSE where you want it, and writes the lessons and printables for each child.
Georgia homeschool curriculum: what to teach, what is free, and what the state pays for
Georgia requires a declaration of intent to the Georgia Department of Education, instruction in these five subjects for 180 days of at least 4.5 hours, an annual progress report written by the parent, and a nationally standardized test every three years from grade 3.
For the legal side (notice, records, assessment) see the Georgia homeschool requirements guide. This page is about the curriculum itself.
Subjects Georgia expects
The annual progress report is written by you, per subject; keep a short log. Test every three years with any nationally normed test (results are kept, not submitted).

- Language arts
- Mathematics

“Free homeschool programs” in Georgia
Most results for free programs are public online schools. They are free and teacher-led, but your child is a public school student with state testing, not a homeschooler. Worth knowing before you enroll.
Georgia Cyber Academy and Georgia Connections Academy
Public online charter schools; free, with Georgia Milestones testing; public enrollment.
Money for curriculum in Georgia
Georgia's Promise Scholarship (from 2025) provides about $6,500 per student for private school or home study expenses for students zoned to low-performing schools; eligibility is limited. No general ESA or tax credit for homeschoolers.
What Georgia families know
- Georgia Home Education Association (GHEA) runs the state convention; the Atlanta metro has some of the densest co-op and hybrid-school networks in the country.
- The every-three-years test (grades 3, 6, 9, 12 in practice) means most families keep math and language arts on track with a standardized-test-friendly program.
- Georgia history is a public-school grade 8 subject; homeschoolers often do it in grade 4 or 8.
- The 4.5-hour day requirement is generous in what counts: reading, projects, field trips and PE all count as instruction.
