About
What it is
Schoolhouse Teachers is a Christian all-access homeschool platform operated by The Old Schoolhouse Magazine. The pitch is 'Every Subject. Every Grade. Every Student.' — one membership covers an unlimited number of children in a family. The platform includes more than 400 courses written by independent authors, all of whom sign a Statement of Faith, plus lesson plans, recordkeeping, report card generators, transcripts, 25,000+ streaming videos, and World Book Online access.
Subjects span the full PreK-12 curriculum plus extensive electives, unit studies, life skills, special needs content, and Bible. The platform is web-based with no dedicated mobile app, though mobile browsers work.
Pricing as of 2026 is $389 per year for the annual plan (the most popular option, which includes the Applecore Gold planner), $119 per quarter, or $1,850 for a lifetime membership. Some 2025 sources reported lower prices ($209-$299) — pricing has risen into 2026. The per-family rather than per-student model makes Schoolhouse Teachers exceptional value for large Christian families.
The Statement of Faith requirement is non-negotiable: it requires belief in biblical inerrancy, the deity, virgin birth, bodily resurrection of Christ, and His imminent return. All course authors sign it, and course content is reviewed for alignment. Secular families will not find this platform suitable.
The affiliate program is in-house through TheOldSchoolhouse.com and is one of the strongest in homeschool: 20-25% commission per sale (top tier up to 40% with volume or leader status), a 365-day cookie, monthly payouts, recurring commissions as long as the referred member stays subscribed, and an optional state or local leader tier.
Reviewer consensus from HowDoIHomeschool, NotThatHardToHomeschool, and Homeschool Curriculum 101 calls Schoolhouse Teachers an exceptional value, especially for multi-child families. The main critique is that course quality varies — some courses are 'amazing,' others 'mediocre,' and there are no internal ratings to find the great ones. The interface feels dated, and the platform is more of a cobble-together library than an open-and-go curriculum. Cathy Duffy is positive but does not single it out as a top pick.
It works best for large Christian families (flat fee per family is unmatched), eclectic homeschoolers willing to curate, and families wanting a Christian worldview across all subjects.
