Compare Imagine Edgenuity with us
Imagine Edgenuity provides schools with online courses for Grades 6 to 12, led by on-screen teachers. We give your child a homeschool curriculum from Kindergarten through Grade 12, written for them and graded as each piece is turned in.
School courseware or a homeschool curriculum
Imagine Edgenuity, from Imagine Learning, is online courseware for Grades 6 through 12, used for initial credit and credit recovery. Its more than 400 courses include core subjects, electives, honors, AP, world languages, career and technical education, and test prep, with explicit instruction from on-screen teachers. Imagine Learning sells it to schools and districts for virtual, blended, and alternative programs, and families at those schools can follow along in a Family Portal.
Your family runs the homeschool with us, and the curriculum covers every grade from Kindergarten up.
Where your child starts
Edgenuity students take the courses their school has assigned. Those courses can provide first-time credit or credit recovery, so the school decides how they fit into the student's program.
To start your child where they actually are, we write a placement test for each subject. It has 25 questions, or 12 for younger learners, and it adapts as your child answers.
From every answer, we estimate where your child is solid but not yet finished, and that's where they start. Each subject is placed on its own, so your child might begin in the middle of fourth-grade math and the beginning of fifth-grade reading. In grades 3 to 12, a child who prefers paper can print the free placement test, then upload a photo of the answer sheet for grading.
What a school day looks like
An Edgenuity day follows assigned online lessons taught through recorded teachers. The child completes the assigned work and assessments as they move through that course.
Our Parent Dashboard lays out today's lessons by subject. You can build the week around your family's hours and print it for the fridge.
Interactive articles weave in your child's interests, with images and videos made for them. Reading checks confirm understanding, then your child applies the idea in a project, such as optimizing lap times for F1 or working out a rocket’s fuel load.
When your child gets stuck
Edgenuity students can contact Imagine Learning tutors for help. Schools can also add teachers through Instructional Services, so the support available depends on the arrangement the school has chosen.
Our Always-On Mentor sits beside every reading and project, so help is there the moment your child needs it.
The mentor also steps in on its own when your child seems stuck, explains the idea another way, and can make it visual by drawing on its board. In a reading check or a project, it guides your child's thinking without giving the answer away.
Learning to keep a notebook
From Grade 3, our readings offer an optional Notebook guide to help your child organize their learning. It encourages lesson headings and unit labels, and the printable guide offers tips for taking notes in their own words rather than copying the article.
The guide encourages your child to note where they struggled and how they got past it. One tip is to star a useful takeaway, then gather those takeaways into a review page. When your child scans and uploads their notebook pages, we help them remember those ideas and shape practice problems around the places they struggled.
Who grades the work
Edgenuity includes assessments during and after the coursework, as well as applied work. The school's teachers monitor progress and give feedback on writing, keeping a human review role in that course arrangement.
We grade everything your child submits as soon as they submit it, so grading never lands on you. When your child gets something wrong, we help them work through it, and projects come back with feedback so they can revise them.
Records, state paperwork, and the transcript
Edgenuity courses contribute credit through the school using them. Families can follow progress in the Family Portal, while the school decides how that completed coursework appears in its record.
At TheHomeschoolingCompany, your child's school record builds as they work: daily check-ins log attendance, and everything they finish is saved automatically. Attendance logs and learning summaries are ready to export, and we draft the documents your state asks for from that same record, including portfolios with real work samples.
Our high school transcript builds from completed work, with courses, letter grades, credits, and GPA calculated for you.

Other questions
- Can we use ESA funds?
- Yes. We are an approved vendor in Arizona, Alabama, New Hampshire, and Utah. Your program decides which purchases it covers and how to pay through ClassWallet or Odyssey.
- Can a younger brother or sister use it too?
- Yes. Each child takes placement and starts at their own level. Kindergarten through Grade 2 uses spoken lessons, with an adult nearby.
- Can my child read lessons on paper?
- Yes. Lessons, reading checks, and projects can be done on paper. Your child scans and uploads the finished pages for the same detailed feedback as online work.
