As a homeschooling parent, I can say these guides are solid gold. I just wish they were written 10 years ago. These would have saved us a ton of hassle
Manisha Snoyer
@william_beckler Thank you so much! You've been an indispensable support from day 1 as one of the first software engineers and entrepreneur I met who was homeschooling! It was a revelation to learn tech savvy, modern parents were homeschooling! Thank you for all your support along the way. The best is yet to be!

Hi everyone, I’m Manisha, the CEO and Co-founder of Modulo. This comprehensive guide is based on our learnings over the last seven years, talking to thousands of secular homeschoolers, reading their questions and comments on reddit and facebook and helping over 100k families in seven countries homeschool during the pandemic through our non-profit, schoolclosures.org. As a K12 teacher and tech entrepreneur for over 20 years, I’ve seen the full scope of the education system, from pricey private schools to failing public schools, to microschools, homeschool, and everything in between. There’s a latent movement of techies, teachers and other innovators that are designing their children’s education using curriculum, tutors, online classes, educational software and social modules. We call them modular learners. And they’re getting significantly better learning outcomes. But most parents lack the time and confidence to do modular learning, even though they envy the outcomes they’re seeing in their friends. We’ve created this guide for them - and anyone interested in playing a role in the fastest growing trend in K12 education. A HUGE thank you to my co-founder @ericries , to long-time collaborator @jade_rivera for sharing her expertise on cognitive diversity, to @nireyal and Rachel Thomas for sharing their stories - and our favorite hunter, @chrismessina, who has given us encouragement and actionable product insights us along the way. I’ll be on all day answering any questions you've ever had about homeschooling and modular learning in the comments... If you have a moment, we’d LOVE to hear your feedback. What’s missing? What should we add? What could be improved? We’re adding new content every day and would love to hear what’s needed. Thank you and we hope it's helpful!
