Why I built this.
Four kids. Two states. A thousand printouts. And the friend who said homeschooling was a luxury she couldn't afford.
I'm Annie. I have four kids. I homeschool all of them.
When people hear that, they say one of two things. The first group says, 'How do you DO it?' — with a kind of awe that's really just relief that they don't have to. The second group says, 'I wish I could. We can't afford it.'
That second sentence is the one that built this company.
Because the truth is, when my friend said that to me last spring — she's a nurse, her husband's a teacher, three kids under ten — she wasn't wrong about the math. She was wrong about the menu.
What she'd seen was the version of homeschooling that costs $1,200 a year per kid at Power Homeschool, plus tutors, plus curriculum boxes, plus a parent who can be home full-time. Of course that's a luxury. That version was BUILT to be a luxury.
But there's another version. The version where the AI teacher already knows your kid's level. Where the state paperwork's been done before you finished your coffee. Where the scholarship money you didn't know you qualified for shows up automatically. Where the only thing you're paying for is the part that's actually irreplaceable: a parent in the room.
That version doesn't exist yet. That's what I'm building.
Every kid in America who wants to come home should be able to. The school I wished my kid could come home to should be the school every kid can come home to.
That's it. That's the whole pitch.
