Questions
- Is the curriculum really free?
- Yes, always. Every work, the map, the norms, and the calendar are free to read, with no card, no trial, and no time limit. Work pages open without an account; a free account adds favorites and a printable binder. Paid plans add your children and their records, never the curriculum itself.
- How does the free trial work?
- Homeschool and Private School start with 14 days of every feature in the plan, with no card. Choose a plan in your settings when you’re ready; if you do it during the trial, the first charge comes when the trial ends.
- What happens if the trial ends and I don’t pay?
- The account goes back to the free features: the whole curriculum, favorites, and the binder. Your children’s records are kept, and come back when you choose a plan.
- How is the Private School plan counted?
- $399 a year, or $45 a month, for each active classroom, with unlimited staff and children in each. Adding a classroom charges for the rest of the current year or month; archiving one credits the unused time to your next bill. A school with 2 classrooms pays $798 a year, or $90 a month.
- Can I cancel?
- Any time, from Manage billing in your settings. The plan runs to the end of the period you paid for. That period isn’t refunded.
- Do you charge sales tax?
- Where the law requires it, and it’s shown before you pay. A tax-exempt school files its exemption certificate in its settings, and we apply it to each invoice it covers.
- Who owns our records?
- Your school or family does. Download everything at any time. Delete a child at once, or the whole account 30 days after you ask, so there’s time to download first. We never sell data, show ads, or train AI on it.
- I have a discount code.
- Enter it in your settings when you choose a plan, before you go to payment. The payment page shows the discounted price and how long the discount lasts.
- When is the Charter School plan available?
- It isn’t yet. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you when it opens.
Prices are in US dollars. Schools and families choose their state at sign-up; standards follow that state. Something else? Write to privacy@aprative.com.
