Georgia · Kindergarten to Grade 5

Homeschooling in Georgia: what we give you

A full K–5 curriculum in nine subjects, printable workbooks with answer keys, and the blank forms and scope documents families use for their own records.

What we teach

Nine subjects, kindergarten through grade 5, and every topic names the standard it addresses:

  • Math — the US Common Core, and separately the Singapore Ministry of Education syllabus as its own track
  • Reading — Common Core reading standards for literature and informational text
  • English & Writing — Common Core writing, language, and speaking and listening standards
  • Science — the Next Generation Science Standards, including engineering design
  • History & Social Studies — the C3 Framework, across civics, economics, geography and history
  • Life Skills, Entrepreneurship and Psychology for Kids — no external standard exists for these, so the topics and their order are ours
  • World Languages — Spanish and Portuguese for English speakers, and English for Spanish and Portuguese speakers

Why this curriculum, specifically

Eight things that are true of every lesson we publish, each checkable against something we give away free — the scope documents and the workbook samples — rather than something you have to take on trust.

  1. Every topic names the standard it addressesNot “aligned to standards” in the abstract. Each topic carries its code — 3.NF.A.1, RI.3.1, 2-PS1-4 — and the free scope-and-sequence document lists every one of them, so you can check the whole plan before you spend anything.
  2. A lesson is a script, not a worksheetForty minutes, broken into a five-minute warm-up, twelve minutes of teaching, ten minutes guided, ten minutes independent and a three-minute wrap-up. It tells you what to say. It gives two worked examples, names the two mistakes students actually make on that topic and how to correct each one, then ten problems ordered easy to hard. Written for a parent who has never taught.
  3. The practice does not run outEvery topic carries its own question bank — 120 questions in most subjects, 55 in math — and every answer comes with an explanation rather than a bare key. A student who needs another go gets different questions, not the same page again.
  4. Two separate maths, not oneThe US Common Core track and the Singapore Ministry of Education syllabus are published as separate books. Run whichever suits your student, or use Singapore alongside Common Core for depth on the same arithmetic.
  5. Nine subjects, including three most K–5 curricula skipAlongside math, reading, English and writing, science, history and social studies and world languages, we teach Life Skills, Entrepreneurship and Business Thinking, and Psychology for Kids — money, emotions, habits, how an advertisement works on your brain — from kindergarten.
  6. The same curriculum in three languagesEnglish, Spanish and Portuguese. The lessons themselves are written in each language, not a translated sales page over English material.
  7. It all printsWorkbooks, answer keys, practice pages and the record forms. Paper is what goes in a portfolio, and paper is what you hand an evaluator.
  8. You can read it before you buyA free sample of every workbook, and the full topic list of every grade and subject on this site. Nothing is behind a form.

Our math follows the US Common Core and, as a separate track, the Singapore Ministry of Education syllabus; science follows the Next Generation Science Standards; history and social studies follow the C3 Framework. Your state's public schools may work from their own standards with different codes. The subject matter overlaps heavily — second-grade place value is second-grade place value — but the codes are not necessarily the same ones, and we would rather say so than let you assume.

What we give you for your records

Three things, all printable, all blank or factual — never a claim about your student that we are not in a position to make.

  1. Scope and sequence documentsOne per subject, kindergarten through grade 5, and one combined document per grade covering every subject. Each lists the topics in teaching order with the standard each one addresses, so you can hand over or file the plan you are actually teaching.
  2. The record-keeping packBlank forms: an attendance log, a portfolio cover sheet, a progress summary and a reading log. Nothing is filled in for you — no name, no date, no score, no sample entry. What you write on them stays with you; it is not sent to us and we keep no copy.
  3. The topic lists on this siteEvery grade and subject has its own page here, with the full topic list rendered on the page, so you can read or print the plan before you buy anything.

About your state's requirements

We do not advise on home education law, and nothing on this page describes what Georgia requires of you. Requirements differ by state and district and they change — Utah rewrote its rules in 2025 — so the only reliable source is your own state and district, in writing. Georgia's own page is below.

Georgia Department of Education — Home Schools

What this page is not

This is not legal advice, and we are not lawyers. We do not know your district, your dates or your student.

We do not claim to know any state's current requirements. Requirements differ between states and districts, and they change. Confirm everything with your own state and district before you rely on it.

Nothing UpOnly Learning publishes satisfies a legal requirement. We are a private educational publisher, not a school: we award no grades, credits or diplomas, and we are not accredited.

Questions parents ask

Does UpOnly Learning meet Georgia's requirements?

No one can answer that but Georgia and your district, and you should ask them. We are a private educational publisher, not a school: we award no grades, credits or diplomas, we are not accredited, and nothing we publish satisfies a legal requirement on its own.

What can I actually hand to an evaluator or a district?

The scope and sequence document for the grade, which lists every topic in teaching order with the standard it addresses, and whichever of the blank record forms you have filled in yourself. We never fill in a form about a student, because we are not in a position to judge one.

Do you keep what I write on the forms?

No. They are printed pages. What you write on them stays with you; nothing is sent to us and we keep no copy.
