All-in-one platform

Everything your homeschool needs for math

From the first lesson to proof they've mastered the concept.

Real instruction, not just answers

Interactive micro-lessons are built into every topic, generated from peer-reviewed academic textbooks, so your child learns new material and applies it to problems right away with their AI teacher.

Practice and study tools on tap

Your child can turn their notes, coursework, or past mistakes into practice sets, quizzes, and study guides. You can also share assignments with other homeschool families, even if they aren't members.

Mastery before moving on

Your child moves through topics and assignments at their own pace, with mastery checks along the way that make sure each concept is solid before the next one starts.

However your child learns best

StarSpark meets your child where they are and adjusts to how they learn. They can type, speak, draw, graph, or upload a photo of their work.

What makes it different

It does not wait for your child to ask for help.

Most programs keep going whether a concept landed or not, and struggling learners rarely raise their hand. StarSpark watches the work itself. The moment your child guesses, misses the same idea twice, or shows a misconception, it stops and reteaches before moving on.

Diagnostic, placement, and learning plan

Know where your child stands

No two students are the same, so their plans shouldn't be either.

How it works

Have your child take the optional diagnostic exam that checks what your child already knows, topic by topic:

  • StarSpark builds a personalized learning plan from the results, aligned to grade level and state standards
  • Unsure of their math level? Request a placement test from your Parent Portal to see the grade they're actually working at
  • The plan adapts as they progress, so it stays accurate all year

"She practices entirely on her own, and I have peace of mind knowing the AI Teacher makes sure she has mastered each concept before moving on."

Garima,

Parent of a 5th grade learner | Bay Area, CA

"As a parent of two and a math coach, I know how hard it is to find truly high-quality, curriculum-aligned problems. With StarSpark, my kids get structured, syllabus-aligned content I can trust."

Vikram,

AMC math coach and parent | San Diego, CA

"Two of my three kids are homeschooled, and it was a lot to manage. Plus, I’m not great at math either. Now they work through their assignments without me losing my mind."

Frequently asked questions

Still have questions? Contact us!
Can StarSpark be our full math curriculum, or is it a supplement?

Most homeschool families use StarSpark alongside the math curriculum they already run, and that's how it works best. It supports every type of curriculum and math program, whatever your approach, because content is organized topic by topic and aligned to state standards, so you can match it to exactly what you're teaching this week: extra practice where your program is thin, a patient re-explanation when a concept isn't landing, or a mastery check before you move on. And since Sparky's plan adapts to your child rather than a fixed scope and sequence, it fills the gaps your curriculum leaves without asking you to change anything about how you homeschool. StarSpark also offers coverage for high school science and AP subjects.

How much time does it take, and can my child work independently?

Very little of yours, and yes. You pick the grade; a diagnostic exam builds your child's personalized learning plan, and from there they work on their own while Sparky teaches step by step, gives weekly assignments, and steps in the moment they struggle; the same question missed twice triggers a reteach,. You stay in charge without hovering: a weekly summary email, a mid-week nudge if someone falls behind, and a portal showing progress by topic and standard whenever you want the detail for your records.

I've heard AI gets math wrong. How can I trust it to teach my child?

The apps and solvers that get math wrong are predicting text and answers. StarSpark computes the math with adeterministic calculation enginge, so answers and reasoning are 99.9% accurate. Our interactive style lecture lessons are generated from peer-reviewed academic textbooks, with AP content grounded in College Board materials. Just as important for a homeschool: it never hands your child a bare answer. It teaches until they can solve the problem themselves, and mastery is checked before anything is marked complete, so what's in your records reflects what your child can actually do.

What if my child is behind in some topics and ahead in others?

That mix is normal, and it's what the diagnostic exam and placement test are for. StarSpark starts each child at their real level in each area, not their enrolled grade: rebuilding quietly from the gaps where they're behind, and opening harder material, up through AP, where they're ahead. Automatic review brings older concepts back before they fade, so gaps close instead of piling up.

How does it work with multiple kids, and what does it cost?

One account covers the family or multiple children. Each child gets their own dashboard and their own plan at their own level, and you see everyone in one parent portal. It's $25 a month for the first child and $15 a month for each additional child, or $200 a year for the first and $150 a year per additional child on an annual plan. Every plan starts with 14 days free, no credit card required, so you can run it alongside your curriculum for two weeks and judge it on your own child's progress.
