Homeschool methods
Binder adapts to how your family teaches.
Choose a method to shape the dashboard, suggested tools, and record language. You can still mix and match features freely.
Charlotte Mason
Use narrations, living book lists, short lessons, copywork, habit tracking, nature journal, and Book of Centuries.
- Log narrations after readings.
- Preserve nature finds with photos.
- Track habits without turning them into grades.
Classical
Organize memory work, history cycles, trivium stages, Latin, great books, and transcript-ready courses.
- Review memory work regularly.
- Tag readings by cycle.
- Turn high-school work into courses early.
Montessori
Capture observations, chosen work, practical life skills, material use, and progression across developmental areas.
Waldorf
Plan main lesson blocks, seasonal rhythms, art, handwork, stories, movement, and portfolio photos.
Unschooling
Use daily logs to describe child-led learning, projects, conversations, field trips, experiments, and emergent interests.
Eclectic
Mix curriculum, online courses, unit studies, books, co-op classes, and family-created rhythms in one unified record.
Unit Studies
Group lessons, books, projects, field trips, writing, and artifacts around a central topic, then map work back to subjects.
Traditional
Track subjects, assignments, grades, attendance, scope-and-sequence progress, courses, and transcripts clearly.
