Reviews, Giveaway, & Community Guidelines
Homeschool Foundry™ was created to give parents a trusted place to share real experiences with curriculum — uncensored, unfiltered, and actually useful for other families. Your review helps another parent make one of the most important choices in their homeschool.
How to Write a Helpful Review
When writing your review, imagine you’re talking to a fellow homeschool parent over coffee. Be honest, specific, and share the details you wish you had known before purchasing.
A helpful review often includes:
Tip: Reviews don’t need to be long, but they do need to be real. Even a few sentences can guide another family’s choice.
Monthly Giveaway
To thank you for sharing your honest experiences, we host a monthly giveaway for reviewers.
Prize:
Each month, one review will be randomly selected to win $100 in homeschool curriculum of your choice, as long as it’s listed on Homeschool Foundry™.
Eligibility:
No purchase necessary. Any parent who leaves a review during the month is eligible. Both free and paid vendor listings count, but the curriculum must be listed on our site.
Selection:
Winners are chosen using random.org and notified via the email used when submitting the review.
Tip:
Don’t see your favorite curriculum listed yet? Encourage the vendor to apply for a free listing so it qualifies for future giveaways.
This is our way of saying thank you for helping other families choose with confidence.
Community Standards
To keep Homeschool Foundry™ a safe and trusted space, we ask that all reviews follow these standards:
- Be respectful — critique the curriculum, not the parents, teachers, or children who use it.
- Be truthful — share your actual experience, not hearsay or secondhand opinions.
- Be constructive — highlight what worked and what didn’t so others can make informed decisions.
- No spam, promotions, or self-promotion — reviews should never be ads in disguise.
No hateful or harmful content — discriminatory, offensive, or harassing language will be removed.
Moderation Policy
We believe in transparency. That means:
- Reviews are never hidden because they’re negative.
- Reviews may be removed only if they violate community standards (spam, hate speech, fake accounts).
- Vendors cannot pay to boost or bury reviews. Period.
- Every flagged review is reviewed by our moderation team to ensure fairness and accuracy.
Your voice matters. By following these guidelines, you help build a resource parents everywhere can rely on.
