Timberdoodle Scheduler sample

What a week of 8th Grade looks like with the Timberdoodle kit

A typical mid-year 8th Grade week with the Timberdoodle kit: five school days, 6 of the kit's 7 subjects, and 8 to 9 short checklist items a day.

We asked the families who used our 8th grade kit how long their students spent on "school." Most of the families worked on academics 4 or 5 days a week and spent 3-5 hours a day specifically on Timberdoodle materials.

From “How much time does it take to do the 8th grade kit each day?” on the 8th Grade kit page.

A week from the middle of the year

Laid out by the Scheduler itself, the way it builds a family’s schedule: Monday to Friday, with the standard Complete kit. The two editions differ in one course: the Classic kit has Mystery of History Vol. II, and the Nonreligious kit has Discover! US Culture & History to 1865 instead. Basic and Elite add or remove courses; compare the levels on the kit page.

Timberdoodle Scheduler

What the Scheduler does for you

Tell the Scheduler when your year starts, when it ends, and which weeks you're taking off. It lays out every subject, day by day, for every child in the house, and reshuffles itself when life happens.

  • It comes free with every 2026 curriculum kit. Your activation code is on the second page of your handbook.
  • One code covers your whole family, every child, Tiny Tots through 12th Grade.
  • Add your own courses right alongside your Timberdoodle materials.
  • Print a weekly or daily checklist for your child to work with.
  • Log what's done, set break weeks, and pull progress reports and transcripts.

Not using a kit this year? One-Year Family Access is $69.95 on its own.
