Homeschool portfolio pages to record a full school year in one binder

Homeschool portfolio pages that help you capture one student's year of learning and gather their finest work in a single, peaceful binder. There are 21 undated pages for attendance, curriculum, reading, work samples, tests, reviews each quarter and a summary at year end. You get US Letter and A4 PDF files as an instant download.

Nothing is shipped. Print a set per child, add a few dividers and fill it in as the year unfolds.

How this homeschool portfolio keeps records simple

Tick off each school day on a 180-day grid and on a monthly chart, note every book and curriculum as you use it, and file two or three dated samples per subject behind their own cover sheet. Once a quarter, a review page takes you subject by subject through progress, so it is easy to see what to keep and what to change.

When the year ends, the summary page gathers it all in one place: the number of school days, books finished, field trips, projects and the topics covered in every subject. There are no dates printed, so you can begin in any month and print a new set for each child, every year.

Who this homeschool binder is for

• Parents who want a neat, easy record of each child's year at home
• Families keeping a portfolio for a yearly evaluation or review, or just as a keepsake
• First year homeschoolers unsure what to save, who would like a clear checklist
• Families mixing co-ops, unit studies, online classes and other resources who want it all in one place

Design, sizes and printing

• A clean, elegant look: white pages with gentle blush pink touches that are light on ink
• Generous margins all around, so a home printer will not trim anything
• Choose A4 (210 x 297 mm) or US Letter (8.5 x 11 in), both in portrait
• No dates printed, so you can begin at the start of a school year or partway through
• One student per binder, so print a separate set for every child
• Use it in a binder or on a clipboard, or have a print shop spiral bind it
