What is the difference between the Afterschool Plus™ and the Homeschool Pro™ memberships?

2 min. readlast update: 07.19.2026

Afterschool Plus is a supplemental learning program for students who already attend a public or private school. Homeschool Pro is a complete K-12 online homeschool curriculum for families who are homeschooling.

What Is Afterschool Plus?

Afterschool Plus is designed for students who are enrolled in a public or private school and want additional learning opportunities outside their regular school day.

Families may use Afterschool Plus for:

  • Extra practice in academic subjects
  • Help reviewing concepts learned at school
  • Skill-building
  • Educational enrichment
  • Electives and extracurricular interests
  • Learning during weekends, school breaks, or summer

Afterschool Plus includes access to online classes, but it is not intended to serve as a student’s complete homeschool curriculum. It does not include many of the homeschool-specific services and features available with Homeschool Pro.

What Is Homeschool Pro?

Homeschool Pro is designed specifically for families who are homeschooling. It can serve as the student’s primary K-12 homeschool program, with teacher-led, self-paced classes in core subjects, electives, and extracurricular areas.

In addition to online class access, Homeschool Pro includes homeschool-focused features such as:

  • A digital student ID card
  • Support from a dedicated Homeschool Advisor
  • Instructor grading for applicable written assignments
  • Course completion certificates
  • Help with homeschool planning, records, and transcripts
  • Access to classes above or below the student’s assigned grade level
  • Additional tools and services created for homeschool families

Homeschool Pro gives parents more than a collection of supplemental classes. It provides the curriculum, support, and student resources needed to manage online homeschooling more confidently.

Which Membership Should I Choose?

Choose Afterschool Plus if your child:

  • Is currently enrolled in a public or private school
  • Needs extra academic help or practice
  • Wants access to enrichment classes or electives
  • Does not need a complete homeschool program

Choose Homeschool Pro if your child:

  • Is currently being homeschooled
  • Will be leaving public or private school to begin homeschooling
  • Needs a complete K-12 online homeschool curriculum
  • Needs homeschool-specific support, grading, records, or student services

Important: Families who are homeschooling should select Homeschool Pro. Afterschool Plus is a supplemental program and is not designed to replace a complete homeschool curriculum.

If you are still unsure which membership fits your family, please contact us and let us know whether your student is homeschooled or currently enrolled in a public or private school.
