Lumi High adds high school courses for grades 9 to 12 and trade lessons (Electrical Basics, Plumbing Basics). Lessons adapt to each child's level automatically — no manual grade setup required.

Add up to 8 children under one account — each gets their own profile, their own lesson path, and their own progress tracking. The price doesn't change. This is the single biggest reason multi-child families choose Lumi over every competitor.
Every week, Lumi emails you a digest showing exactly what each child studied, how they scored, and how much time they spent per subject. No logging in, no dashboard hunting — it lands in your inbox automatically.
Built-in attendance tracker, printable report cards, and a 50-state homeschool compliance guide. Whether your state requires annual assessments, portfolio reviews, or just a notice of intent — Lumi has the information and tools to keep you on track.
Lumi works on iOS (iPhone/iPad), Android phones and tablets, Amazon Fire tablets, Chromebooks, Smart TVs, and any web browser. It's one of the most device-flexible homeschool platforms available.
