If your membership has lapsed, you’ll need to contact the Leadership Team to request a membership resumption invoice.

Paying Your Tuition and Materials Fees

Payments for tuition and supplies are (1) made directly to the instructor (2) via PayPal (3) through your Homeschool-Life-generated invoice (4) from your family’s Accounting page.

Instructors at Planet Homeschool are hired and paid directly by the parents and guardians who enroll students in their classes.

For your account to be automatically credited, payments to instructors must be made using your Homeschool-Life-generated invoice, which can be found on your family’s Accounting page.

Should you ever pay outside of the Homeschool-Life Accounting system, you must submit proof of payment to our co-op’s Finance Director via email to [email protected] to have your tuition invoice cleared. Tracking these payments creates extra work for our hardworking Leadership Team volunteers, so please just pay through your family’s Accounting page instead.

Detailed payment instructions can be found on your family’s Manage Class Registrations page.
