For homeschool co-ops
Co-op software built for volunteer directors.
You already give your time. LearningSense takes registration, fees, reminders and the group text off your plate, so co-op day can be about the kids.
Free for up to 10 families. No payment info needed to start.
Registration
Classes fill and close on their own
Add classes by grade with sizes, teachers and fees. Share one link. Families pick classes for each child and see the seats left, and full classes fill a waitlist.
- Semester fees per child or per family
- Sibling discounts that apply on their own
- Copy a semester forward on Sprout and up
Registration waves
Give staff and returning families first pick
Open registration to staff first, then returning families, then siblings, then everyone. Each wave opens on its own date and families see when theirs starts.
Payments
Collect fees without chasing anyone
Families pay by bank or card at checkout, or hand you a check you mark paid. Reminder emails go out before each due date, and every payment lands in one list.
- Families pay exactly what you charge, never a fee
- Monthly tuition and autopay on Grow
- QuickBooks-ready export for your treasurer on Grow
Volunteers
Fill volunteer shifts with a link
Post shifts and share a public signup link. Families see open shifts in the app, and you see who's coming at a glance.
Classroom, if you want it
Assignments, grades and report cards
For co-ops with graded classes: teachers post work and grade it, parents turn it in for each child, and report cards go home on the day you choose. Leave it off if you don't need it.
Messages
Out of the group text
Announcements with an email copy, a channel for each class, and private direct messages. Teachers can message the families in their own classes.
Your co-op website
A free website new families can join from
Your classes, fees and policies on a public page that updates itself, with a Request to join form. Free on every plan.
