For every family with kids in U.S. schools

School feelsbetter together.

Read school letters in your language and reply in clear English. See grades, missing work and the school calendar in one place.

What does your child need right now?

Every child is different. SchoolPorch first finds out where your child is, then helps with the few things that will make the biggest difference — in your language.

“I don't really know how my child is doing until the report card comes.”

See grades, missing work and deadlines in one place. A grade check-in turns the numbers into a clear, encouraging plan: what's going well, the quick wins, and the next step for each class.

“Missing assignments pile up quietly.”

Missing work is the fastest way to raise a grade, so it comes first — which assignment, which class, and what to do tonight.

“Homework time turns into a fight — or I can't explain it in English.”

A hint tutor that guides your child step by step and never just hands over the answer, with explanations for you in your own language.

“Practice apps feel random. My child redoes what they already know.”

A short check finds what your child already knows and skips it. Practice goes only to what's missing, then comes back later with harder questions to make sure it stuck.

“School emails are long, and I'm afraid I'll miss something.”

Every letter comes back as a short summary with the to-dos and dates first. Need to reply? Write in your language and send polite English.

“Tests and big deadlines sneak up on us.”

Your district's calendar sits on your family calendar. Before a test, SchoolPorch asks “Prepare now?” and lays out a week-by-week plan.

What it does

Six kinds of help for the everyday work of school — for parents and for kids.

School letters & email, in your language

  • Translate any letter, email or photo of a notice
  • A short summary with to-dos and dates first
  • Write in your language, send polite English — translated back so you can check it
  • Read aloud, so you can listen instead of reading

Grades, missing work & the school calendar

  • Grades and missing assignments in one place
  • Your district's calendar: holidays and quarter ends
  • “Prepare before the test?” reminders with a week-by-week plan
  • The class where a little effort now will show fastest

Practice & tutoring

  • An AI hint tutor that guides step by step — and never gives the answer
  • Adaptive K–12 practice: skips what your child knows, targets what's missing
  • Every question can be read aloud
  • Sight words for kindergarteners, a few at a time

Test prep

  • PSAT & SAT: realistic, adaptive mock tests in the Bluebook style, plus skill practice
  • Virginia SOL practice
  • Gifted & Talented: NGAT, CogAT, Iowa, OLSAT and NNAT practice, a state-by-state guide and FCPS AAP
  • Selective high schools: TJ, SHSAT, SSAT/ISEE
  • Links to free official practice from the test makers

College & career

  • A 1:1 AI coach for planning and questions — it's AI, not a human counselor
  • A roadmap from now to applications
  • Data on 1,500+ colleges from official U.S. Department of Education sources

English + 20 more languages

  • Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Arabic, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Haitian Creole, Tagalog, French and more
  • Letters, the app and explanations for parents — all in your language
  • Right-to-left languages like Arabic, Farsi and Urdu, too

What matters most at each age

K–2

Reading and number sense. Every question read aloud, sight words, and reading practice into the microphone.

3–5

Fluency, fractions and good habits, matched to what class is covering — plus SOL practice and gifted screening prep.

6–8

Missing work, pre-algebra and science — the years grades slip quietly. Selective high school prep and PSAT 8/9.

9–12

GPA and hard classes, AP subjects, SAT and PSAT mock tests, and a college roadmap with an AI coach.

Your kids' data
stays with
your family

SchoolPorch is built so that we never need to see your children's information.

Your kids' data stays home. ♡

Saved on your own devicesGrades, letters, photos and practice are saved in the browser on your family's phones and computers — not in our database.
Encrypted when it syncsSyncing between family devices is end-to-end encrypted with a key only your family's devices hold. Even we can't read it.
School passwords never come to usIn ParentVUE districts, the optional home-computer app keeps your password on your own computer and syncs grades from there. Elsewhere, use school emails or a photo of the report card.
AI only sees masked textBefore anything goes to AI, names and schools are replaced (like “STUDENT_A”). It passes through our relay, and nothing is stored.
Still yours if you stop payingEverything you've collected stays readable. We keep only your account email, plan and usage counts.

Questions parents ask

Is SchoolPorch free?

We're testing SchoolPorch with families right now. Prices will be set after the test — until then, it's free.

Do you store my child's data?

No. Your children's information is saved on your family's own devices. Syncing between them is end-to-end encrypted with a key only your devices hold, so we can't read it. AI requests are masked and pass through without being stored. We keep only your account email, plan and usage counts.

Which school systems work?

Enter your ZIP code and we find your district and the system it uses. In ParentVUE districts, the optional home-computer app syncs grades while your password stays on your computer. Everywhere else, you can bring in school emails and photos of report cards and letters.

Which languages are supported?

English plus 20 more: Spanish, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Vietnamese, Arabic, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Haitian Creole, Tagalog, French, Somali, Amharic, Farsi, Urdu, Pashto, Bengali, Hindi, Japanese and Ukrainian.

Is the college coach a real person?

No. It's an AI coach, not a human counselor. It works from official public data. For important decisions, please also talk with your school counselor.

Can my child use it alone?

Yes, once you've set it up. You hand over the screen with your 4-digit parent code, and the tutor gives hints, not answers. For younger kids, we suggest sitting nearby at first.

Are the practice tests official?

No. Our practice questions and mock tests are our own, written to match each test's format. They aren't official, and we're not affiliated with the test makers. For official practice, we link to free sources like College Board's Bluebook tests and Virginia's released SOL tests.
