Your school, your way — not the other way around

Most software makes you bend to fit it. ArcAngel Academics is tailored to fit you and the way you teach. Tell us what kind of school you are and the app reshapes itself — the right features, the right words (a homeschool's “Parent-Educator” is a public school's “Principal”), the right amount of structure. Grow from a single family into a co-op and the tools grow with you. You never outgrow it, and you're never buried in features you don't need.

One platform, every kind of school

Homeschool

For your family

A clean, simple place to assign work, track grades and hours, and generate college-ready transcripts — plus a compliance checklist that fills itself in as you go. Everything a big school has, focused on what a homeschool actually needs.

Family-friendly pricing.

Co-op

For your community

One roster for every family, class, and teacher. Shared attendance and grades, school-wide reports, forms, groups, and per-family billing — without spreadsheets. Each family gets their own private view, and a class taught at the co-op can carry onto the family's own transcript.

Low per-family pricing that scales with you.

Microschool / Learning pod

For your small school

Admissions, family billing and financial aid, staff records and substitutes, alongside the homeschool compliance tools families in a pod often still rely on.

Same per-family pricing as a co-op.

Hybrid / University-Model

For your program

Built for the mix — campus days and at-home days. A bell schedule for the days on campus, assignments with start and due dates for the days at home, and one view of both for every family.

Simple per-student pricing, every feature included.

Online / Virtual

For your online academy

Admissions, rosters, gradebooks, transcripts, family billing, and state reporting, without the building-only tools like the health office or the drill log getting in the way.

Simple per-student pricing, every feature included.

Private school

For your campus

Enrollment, gradebooks, attendance, transcripts, and parent portals that scale with your enrollment — up to 500+ students — without turning into bloated enterprise software. Customizable grading and reporting per class.

Simple per-student pricing, every feature included.

Public school

For your public school

A modern gradebook and assignment system teachers actually want to use, with parent communication, bus routes, school lunches (including the federal free and reduced-price program), state reporting, and the records infrastructure — audit logs, encryption, role-based access — built in from the ground up.

Simple per-student pricing, every feature included.

Custom / Other

For your unique setup

Tutoring centers, enrichment programs — anything in between. Turn on exactly the modules you want and leave the rest off. It bends to you.

You choose what you need.

Homeschools & co-ops: the big-school toolkit, none of the oversight

Transcripts. Report cards. Attendance and instruction-hour logs. Weighted gradebooks. These used to be things only well-funded schools could offer — now they're yours, at a fraction of the cost.

Independent, always. ArcAngel Academics is a private tool, not a government program or accreditation body. We're not connected to any state or federal agency.
No one looking over your shoulder. Nobody here can require you to do anything, report anywhere, or teach a certain way. These are tools to help you succeed — you stay in control.
Your records help YOU. Compliance checklists are optional and informational — a way to track what you choose to track, never something we enforce.
Your data is yours. Student information is encrypted and private. We don't sell it, share it, or hand it to anyone.

Compliance, without a second set of books

Your state asks for hours, days, or credits. ArcAngel counts them from the attendance and coursework you've already recorded — so the number you report is the number you kept, not a spreadsheet you build in June.

Counted for you. Adopt your state's requirements, or write your own. Hours and days come from attendance; credits come from courses. Nothing is entered twice.
Know in February, not June. Every requirement shows met, partly met, or not yet — while there's still time to do something about a shortfall.
Sourced, and honest. Every state links to its official Department of Education page, and says whether we've reviewed it or it's still a starter. Starting points, not legal advice — which is why every requirement is yours to edit.
Still nobody's business but yours. It's optional, it's informational, and nothing is reported anywhere. It exists so you can answer a question if you're asked — not so anyone can ask it.

Up and running in three steps

1

Create your school

Pick your school type and state. Setup takes minutes.

2

Add students & classes

Enter them by hand, or bring everything over from the ArcAngel desktop app in one import.

3

Everything you need to run a school

Assignments & grading

Create work, grade it in a weighted gradebook grid, and see class grades update as you type.

Attendance & hours

Track days and instructional hours the way you count them. A day nobody marked is never counted as taught.

Transcripts & report cards

College-ready transcripts and official report cards, generated from your grades, in your school's branding.

Compliance & diplomas

An optional per-state checklist that fills itself in from your records, plus diploma pathways and subject credits.

Parent & student portals

Families see grades, missing work, attendance, hours, and teacher notes — only for their own children.

Forms & e-signatures

Permission slips, intake forms, and handbook sign-offs, signed online with reminders until they're done.

Messages & announcements

Two-way messages about a student that parents always see, plus announcements, newsletters, and chat alerts.

Admissions & re-enrollment

A public application, a pipeline with a waitlist, and next year's rollover in one step.

Tuition & financial aid

Invoices, payment plans, and receipts, paid into your own Stripe account, with aid traced to every invoice.

Health, safety & lunch

Health office, emergency planning, drills, visitors, and school lunches, including the federal meal program.

Buses, rooms & athletics

Bus routes and riders, room bookings without double-booking, substitutes, teams, and eligibility.

Private & secure

Student data encrypted at rest, two-step sign-in for every staff account, role-based access, and an audit trail.

Know exactly what it costs — before you ever talk to us

Some school platforms hide their price behind a sales call, then layer on fees. We don't. The number you see is the number you pay.

Prices in USD. Cancel anytime — your data stays yours. A few optional add-ons, such as digest emails, cover things that cost real money to run; schools that collect tuition online pay a small flat fee per online payment. Need something custom? Talk to us.

Subscriptions are the only way we make money

That sentence is the whole promise. Schools pay us, so schools are the customer — there's no advertiser to please and no data buyer to keep happy. When a platform is free, or cheap because someone else is paying, the school and its children are what's being sold. We'd rather charge you four dollars.

To run the service we use a small number of vendors — cloud hosting and a payment processor, plus encrypted backup storage that can't read what it holds — and they may only handle your information to provide that service, never for their own purposes. That's the whole list, and it's written into our Privacy Policy, not just onto this page.

Frequently asked questions

Is ArcAngel Academics affiliated with any government or oversight body?

No. ArcAngel Academics is an independent, privately built software tool. We aren't connected to any state or federal agency, and we can't require you to do anything. You stay fully in control of your school.

Do I have to share my data with anyone?

Never. Your students' information is encrypted and private — we don't sell, share, or report it. The records you keep are for your benefit alone.

Will you show ads or sell our information?

No, and we don't intend to build a business that could. Subscriptions are our only revenue, so schools are the customer rather than the product. We don't advertise, we don't sell student data, we don't sell anyone access to your families, and we don't build advertising profiles of children. The only outside parties who touch your data are the vendors that run the service — cloud hosting, encrypted backup storage, and payment processing — and they may use it only to provide it.

What if my school grows or changes type?

You can switch any module on yourself at any time, so a homeschool can start using co-op tools the day it needs them. If your school changes type, tell us and we'll change it: the features, wording, and plan follow, and your data comes right along.

Can I bring in records I already have?

Yes, from the ArcAngel desktop app: import your .school file and your students, classes, grades, and attendance come over in one step. Spreadsheet (CSV) import isn't available yet.

Is it really free to start?

Yes. Create your school and try everything free for 14 days, with no credit card required. If you don't choose a plan, your school goes view-only rather than disappearing, and you can still export everything.

Does anything cost extra?

Every feature is in every plan. A few optional add-ons cover things that cost real money to run, such as digest emails, messages delivered by email, and longer message retention. Schools that collect tuition online pay a small flat fee per online payment — never a percentage, and never on cash or check.

Is my students' information secure?

Yes. Personal information is encrypted at rest, every staff account signs in with two-step verification, access is role-based (a parent only sees their own children), and every sensitive action is recorded in an audit trail. More on privacy and security →

Can multiple parents or teachers use it?

Absolutely. Invite co-teachers, assistants, and parents — each with the right level of access. One login per person, roles for what they can do.
