See what Arbor actually looks like

Every screenshot below is the real app, from one family’s account, taken in the middle of their school year. Two kids, twelve subjects, week 23 of 41, a few hundred lessons already taught.

EVERY MORNING

The day is already there

This is what you open with your coffee. Each kid's lessons for today, in the order to teach them, with how long each one takes.

Open a lesson and it tells you what to say and do, step by step, with a worksheet to print. Mark it done, add a score or a one-line note, and that is the record kept. The subjects you teach from your own curriculum sit in the same list, so nothing lives in two places.

Arbor's Today page. Wednesday, July 29. Ella has History & Geography, Nature Study, and Language Arts, each with an estimated time and buttons to open the lesson, mark it done, or skip it.

SUNDAY NIGHT, OR NEVER

The whole week, and you can move any of it

Week 23 of 41, laid out day by day for each child. Drag a lesson to another day, drop one you don't want, print the week for the fridge, or take the whole week off and let Arbor shift it.

When you finish a week, Arbor plans the next one around what actually happened, not around what it hoped would happen.

BUILT IN ABOUT TWO MINUTES

The whole year, subject by subject

Every subject a child is doing, what it covers, and which weeks each unit lands in. This is the part you would otherwise spend a summer building, and it exists before you teach anything.

Each subject carries its own level, so a kid can be a year ahead in reading and taking their time in maths without either being a problem. Arbor watches how the work is actually going and says when someone looks ready to move up. Subjects you run from your own curriculum sit in the same plan, marked as yours, and Arbor schedules around them instead of over them.

Arbor's Plan page for Ella, grade 3: six subjects, five on Arbor's lessons and one the family runs themselves. Nature Study and Science each show their level, a description, and the year's units with the weeks they cover. A card notes that Ella is averaging 90 percent and offers to raise the challenge.
Arbor's weekly schedule grid: every subject down the side, Monday to Friday across the top, with a filled square on each day a subject meets. Friday is marked off, and Language Arts is labelled as the family's own program.

And which days each subject meets, including the ones you don't school. Arbor suggests a week to start from; the grid is yours to change, and it applies from this week forward.

ONCE, AT THE START

Why you're doing this, in your own words

Arbor calls this your Roots. It is one box, and you write in it like you would tell a friend: real books over worksheets, plenty of time outside, follow the questions wherever they go.

It is not decoration. Every lesson Arbor writes after that is planned around it, and you can change it any week of the year.

ALL YEAR, WITHOUT YOU

The paperwork writes itself while you teach

Marking a lesson done is the whole system. It logs the day, the minutes, and the score if there was one. From that you get lessons done, school days, hours by subject, how far through each subject you are, a year-at-a-glance calendar, and a record book you can print.

Arbor also writes you a plain-language summary of how the year is going, from what you logged rather than from what it planned. What your state requires is still yours to confirm, and Arbor never pretends otherwise.

Arbor's Progress page for Ella, grade 3: 220 lessons done, 101 school days, 99.3 hours logged, a calendar of the whole year with each taught day filled in, and a written summary of how the year is going.
Arbor's record book: 222 entries, hours by subject, and a table of every completed lesson with its date, subject, score, and minutes.

That table is the printable one. Nothing was typed into it.

AND WHAT’S INSIDE THEM

The lessons, in full, before you pay anything

A screenshot can show you the shape of a lesson. Whether it is worth teaching is a different question, so here are whole ones, start to finish, with their worksheets.
