May We Recommend - Schoology

Schoology is a learning management system (LMS) that provides a platform for managing course content, assessments, and lesson planning. It is commonly used in schools, including homeschools and charter schools, to help teachers organize their materials and improve student engagement. Our teachers have built lessons aligned with our curriculum maps, Lesson Cards, and Lesson Guides. Each course has a unique code, which we provide to our homeschool families that provides them access to pre-built lessons as well as additional resources that you can add to our pre-built lessons that allow you to customize instruction to your student's interest. Visit our Pre-Built and Guided Digital Lessons for more information.
