Everything on this page is free and stays free. No account, no trial, nothing that quietly expires in thirty days. We ask for an email address before we send the transcript, because that is how we tell you when something new is finished, and one click takes you off the list for good.

The transcript template

One editable transcript, in Excel and Google Sheets. You enter courses, credits, and grades. The weighted GPA, the unweighted GPA, and the credit total calculate themselves, and the formula cells are locked so a stray keystroke cannot break the arithmetic without telling you. That is a quiet way for a transcript to go wrong: not a bad decision, just a cell someone typed over in March.

There is a row for Bible, and a row for catechism in the Catholic file. If Bible is a real subject in your house, with reading and written work in it, it belongs on the record with the hours it actually took. The template does not weight it for you or hand you a grade for faithfulness. It gives it a line, the way Chemistry gets a line.

It is the same transcript that comes in the paid system. Not a trimmed version, not a watermarked preview. If it turns out to be all you needed, then it is all you needed and we are square.

What it does not include: the 131 academic course descriptions, the 26 Bible course descriptions in the Protestant edition or the 30 in the Catholic one, the fifty-one state summaries, the portfolio and evaluator forms, or the guide. Those are the Records System, and they are why it costs thirty-nine dollars.

A Scripture copywork set

Twelve pages, one for each verse in our rotation, ruled and ready to print. August is Matthew 10:31, Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows, which is the verse this imprint was built around. The Protestant set is King James. The Catholic set is the same twelve in the Douay-Rheims, Challoner revision, on Douay Psalm numbering, which runs one behind the King James through most of the Psalter and is not a typographical error on our part.

Two rulings in the download. The wider one is for a child still forming letters, the narrower for a writer who has stopped thinking about the pen.

Public domain translations only, here and in everything we sell. The King James and the Douay-Rheims are free for anyone to set in type, and the World English Bible was dedicated to the public domain outright by its publisher, so we include it as the plain-modern-English option. The NIV, the ESV, and the NLT carry their publishers' copyright notices, and we will not reproduce them at any length, which is a legal matter before it is a preference. We also do not paraphrase a verse to make it fit a line. If a passage runs long, the page gets longer.

Homeschool requirements, all fifty-one

Every state plus the District of Columbia, free to read: what you file, by when, what you keep, what assessment you owe if any, and the statute cited with a link so you can check our reading against the code yourself.

These are free on purpose. Nobody should have to buy something to learn what the law asks of them, and the summaries passed around in comment threads go stale without anyone noticing. Ohio's old notification regime is gone, replaced in 2023 by Ohio Rev. Code 3321.042 (H.B. 33, effective October 3, 2023), which asks for a short annual notice and no curriculum outline at all. Wyoming stopped requiring families to submit curriculum on July 1, 2025, when the Homeschool Freedom Act (H.B. 46, 2025) amended Wyo. Stat. 21-4-101 and 21-4-102. One notice survived that bill, and it is the one people miss: Wyo. Stat. 21-4-102(c) still applies when you withdraw a child who is already enrolled in a public school.

One thing worth reading closely if you teach the faith as a subject: religious instruction is not among the subjects these statutes name. Ohio's revised list at Ohio Rev. Code 3321.042 runs to six subject areas and none of them is Bible. So Bible time sits alongside the required list rather than standing in for any of it. A coverage grid that puts Bible where the statute says history is the fastest way to turn a short review into an argument. Some states go further and say so in the code. Wyoming's basic-academic-program definition, Wyo. Stat. 21-4-101(a)(vi), provides that the curriculum requirements do not require a home-based program to include any concept, topic or practice in conflict with its religious doctrines. Your state page quotes your state's own words.

The credit-counting worksheet

One page. The defensible ways to award a high school credit, what each is good for, and the point where a credit number stops being defensible on a phone call with an admissions officer. There is a short section on Bible as elective credit, because the Bible row on the transcript raises it immediately: what makes it a graded course with assigned reading and written work, and what makes it family devotion, which is its own thing and not a credit. Both matter. Only one goes on the transcript.

Print it and keep it where you do your recordkeeping in June, because June is when this actually gets used.

Why we give these away

Not as ministry, and we are not going to dress it up as ministry. The reasons are plainer than that.

The paperwork side of homeschooling is where families get frightened into buying things. Add a verse to the fear and it sells even better, which is exactly why we will not do it. A parent buying out of dread is a parent who will resent the purchase by August, and we would rather have a reader for nine years than a sale this week.

The free things are also how you audit us before you spend anything. Read the state page for where you live, then open your own statute and see whether we got it right. If we did, you have learned something real about how carefully we work, which is worth more than any promise a product page could make.

And we would rather compete on what is genuinely hard to make. Copying a verse onto ruled lines is not hard. A hundred and thirty-one course descriptions written in the register an admissions office reads, and fifty-one statutes reread every year, are hard. Charging for the first would only make the second look less serious.
