Privacy Policy

Updated: June 2026

Our Commitment to Student Privacy

Online Homeschool (OHS) was created by homeschooling families, for homeschooling families. We understand that the information stored within your account may include sensitive educational records, personal information about parents and students, academic progress, attendance records, assignments, grades, and private communications.

Protecting that information is one of our highest priorities.

We collect only the information necessary to provide our services and do not sell student data, academic records, or personal information to advertisers, marketers, or data brokers. Educational records belong to families, not advertisers.
