Compass: the planning system that holds your whole year together.
Compass is the AI-powered planning tool at the center of Homeschool Curriculum Architect. You bring your state, your resources, your kids' grade levels and pace. Compass holds the standards, the sequencing, the resource deadlines, and the record of what actually happened, as one connected plan that stays current as the year runs.
One-time purchase, instant digital download. No subscription, no per-child fee.
A system you own outright.
A planner gives you a blank grid and leaves the sequencing, the resourcing, and the record-keeping to you. A subscription tool generates a plausible week on request and forgets it the moment the conversation ends. Compass does the part neither one was built for: it keeps the standards, the resources, the schedule, and the evidence attached to each other, all year, so a gap gets caught while it's still a small adjustment.
You start by describing your family. Compass maps the full year first, every subject, every major resource, every deadline for getting something in hand before it's needed. Nothing moves to weekly planning until you approve that year map. From there, weekly plans inherit real decisions instead of making them from scratch every Sunday night, and pacing adjusts as real life happens without the rest of the year quietly falling out of alignment.
It comes with a method guide that teaches the thinking behind every planning decision, so the system still works in a year you never open Compass at all.
One price. Yours for good.
Homeschool Curriculum Architect is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, not a recurring fee, not a trial that turns into a bill you forget about.

How it works.
Describe your family to Compass. You input your state, your resources, your kids' grade levels, the schedule that actually fits your life, and your philosophy or faith approach.
Approve your year overview. Before any weekly planning, you get the whole year mapped: every subject, every major assignment, every resource you'll need and when. Adjust and refine it until it's exactly right; nothing moves to weekly planning until you approve it.
Plan your weeks in a fraction of the time. Inside that year map, pacing adjusts as real life happens, so you're never rebuilding your plan from scratch.
Compass runs on a Claude or ChatGPT account, which you'll need to use it.
