Homeschool_Acronyms_Abbreviations

This infographic contains information regarding the acronyms and abbreviations regularly utilized by participants of homeschooling. The information is provided by Secularhomeschool.com and contains three different categories to classify acronyms and abbreviations. These categories are “Curriculum,” “General Homeschooling,” and “Miscellaneous.” The “Curriculum” category includes acronyms for curriculum topics, including things like “All About Reading” (AAR), “Global Village School” (GVS), and “History Odyssey” (HO). The “General Homeschooling” category includes general acronyms used for common terms from homeschooling, such as “Public School” (PS) and “Waldorf Method” (WM). Finally, the “Miscellaneous” category includes some terms important to education more generally (both home and public), including “Common Core” (CC) and “Social Studies” (SS). The style of this infographic includes four different colored boxes; one each for a title box and the three categories. The heading titles for each are large and printed in a unique color, and are underlined by a line of triangles. The lists of abbreviations and acronyms are written in bold font. The lines of the infographic are clean, simple, and easy to understand.

Is your child struggling in school?

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
