A sequenced, curriculum-mapped core you can trust — so the rest of the week can be reading, projects, work, animals and actual life, without you lying awake wondering what's being missed.

Subscribe from your child's first year of school — Prep, Kindergarten, Reception, Pre-primary or Transition, whatever your state calls it — and every year after it is already written and sequenced: every learning area, every unit, every lesson, through to Year 10. Years 11 and 12 have six senior starter units each after that; they are a start, not a senior program, and no certificate comes with them. Your child moves through it at their own pace, you stay the educator, and the learning record keeps building as they go.
Quality over quantity. Every lesson is whole: explicit teaching, a worked example, practice together with hints on hand, a check that shows which misunderstanding is in the way, a task your child chooses, and a reflection to finish. It is written for a parent who is not a teacher, and every curriculum code it cites from Prep to Year 10 is a real Australian Curriculum v9 code, checked by machine.
The size, plainly: our program is about 89 hours of lessons a year at Prep, rising to about 319 by Year 10. Across about 40 weeks of the year that's a little over two hours a week at Prep and about eight by Year 10, in three or four lessons at Prep and five or six by Year 10. You choose which lessons, and when.
The rest of the week is learning time you shape: reading, writing, practice, projects and life. It counts, and the learning record keeps it beside the lessons. State education authorities don't check hours; they check progress, and ParkSyde Learning is built to show it. It works anywhere your child can open it.
If what you need is something that runs every hour of the day and hands you every worksheet, we're not it — and I'd rather tell you now.
What you get
Curriculum-mapped, in order, so nothing important gets skipped and you're never guessing what comes next.
Short lessons written to be taught by a parent, not a teacher. Name it, model it, do it together, check it.
In most lessons from Prep to Year 10, the helper guide has a note for the adult on what to try if it's a struggle, and what to try if it comes easily.
Ten minutes of retrieval each morning that makes a small teaching load actually hold.
Work samples and records kept as you go, so reporting doesn't become a scramble.
When something isn't landing, you're not troubleshooting it alone at 9pm.
Not ready yet
There is a ten-week AI Build — two hours a week, ending in a showcase — and it is licensed to organisations and schools, who run it with their own staff and ParkSyde’s materials. ParkSyde is not running a public course of it.
What it looks like for one family at a kitchen table has not been worked out. Rather than quietly sell you the group version, it is named here and left open. There is nothing to sign up to yet and no date — when there is, it will appear here with a price on the fees page like everything else.
Plainly
Families already home educating, or about to start, who want a backbone they can trust and the freedom to build everything else themselves.
You don't need to be registered with us, referred to us, or eligible for anything. In this park, belonging is assumed.
$200 covers your whole family for the rest of 2026 — one payment, every child, through to 31 December, and nothing renews. Its Learning Start consultation is booked from January, to plan the year ahead. Or pay at standard pricing: $119 a month, or $1,190 a year. The early-family rate — $100 a month, or $270 paid once covering the whole of Term 4, to 11 December — closed on Friday 23 October 2026. Start a subscription and your first week is free; the $200 payment is charged in full on the day, so the free week is not part of it. Nothing is charged until you have said yes to a number you have already seen.
The pricing page works out your family's exact total before you make an account, and you can try the first lesson of every unit free, or see a sample learning record.
