Who we are

tamos provides software tools for parents and guardians to organize homeschool records and generate outputs they choose to share. We are not a school, evaluator, counselor, or legal advisor. Parents control data and sharing decisions. We do not submit documents to third parties on your behalf.

What is tamos?

tamos™ is a private record-keeping and report-generation tool used by parents/guardians to organize their homeschooler’s education. Parents decide what to enter, generate, and share.

Who is tamos for?

tamos is for:

• Homeschool families (K–12)

• Families using education savings accounts or scholarships

• Parents who want better records, transcripts, and portfolios

• *Launching Soon: Co-ops, tutors, and consultants who support homeschoolers

Is tamos a curriculum?

No. tamos is not a curriculum. You still choose what and how you teach. tamos helps you:

• Organize what you’re doing

• Keep records

• Build transcripts and portfolios

• Plan next steps for each child

You can use any curriculum, method, or mix of resources with tamos.

Is tamos only for certain states?

tamos is designed to be useful in any state, but it includes extra support and guidance for states with more defined requirements or scholarship programs. Over time, more state-specific help and templates will be added.

tamos is NOT a school, evaluator, counselor, healthcare provider, or legal advisor. We don’t verify the accuracy of records, certify compliance with any law, or submit anything on your behalf.

What can I track in tamos?

You can track:

• Courses and subjects

• Hours and attendance

• Assignments, tests, and projects

• Activities, field trips, volunteering, and work

• Notes, uploads, and links to student work

All of this information can be used later to build transcripts, summaries, and portfolios.

Do I have to log everything every day?

No. You can log as often or as simply as you like.

• Some families enter a few key items each day.

• Others sit down once a week and add a summary.

• You can also batch-log work at the end of a term.

The more you log as you go, the easier it is to create complete records later.

Can students log their own work?

Note: We will be introducing student-facing portals during our next feature launch; students will be able to have their own dashboard (that you create and manage) and can see only what you allow.

At the time of this particular feature release: You control your own student’s access (within the limits you choose) to: 

• Mark tasks complete

• Add notes or uploads

• Help build their own record and portfolio

Parents always remain in control and can review and edit entries.

Does tamos replace my planner or spreadsheet?

Yes, it absolutely can, if you want. Some families move everything into tamos. Others keep a paper planner for daily details and use tamos for long-term records, transcripts, and portfolios.

Sharing & outputs
Parents choose what to share and with whom. ShareBundles and links are private by default, time-limited, and can be revoked. We never sell student data or use it for targeted ads.

Can tamos create a transcript for my high schooler?

Yes. tamos can help you create a transcript using the courses, grades, credits, and dates you’ve entered.

• You can edit and approve everything before sharing.

• You can print or download your transcript in a standard format.

Can tamos help with college applications?

tamos is not a college application service, but it can make applications easier by:

• Providing organized transcripts

• Listing courses, tests, and achievements

• Helping you build a portfolio or activity list from your records

• Keeps track of  college applications under one tab that you and/or your student manage.

Can tamos help with evaluations or yearly reviews?

Yes. You can generate:

• Summaries of courses and work completed

• Attendance and hour summaries

• Lists of activities,  projects, service hours, etc.

These can be used to prepare for evaluations, reviews, and scholarship renewals.

What is a Student Legacy Profile™?

A Student Legacy Profile™ is a long-term record for each child. It gathers:

• Courses and subjects

• Grades and credits

• Projects and samples of work

• Activities, volunteer work, and jobs

It becomes a single, growing view of your child’s homeschool story.

Does tamos work for all States?

Yes. tamos supports homeschool families across the 50 U.S. states by letting parents configure records, reports, and exports to match state-specific requirements. Parents remain in control of what’s shared and when; tamos provides tools and templates but does not file documents or share such- on your behalf. 

How does tamos use AI?

tamos uses AI to:

• Help you log and organize learning

• Suggest next steps

• Create drafts of summaries, transcripts, and portfolios

AI works in the background to handle repetitive tasks and show patterns, while you make the final decisions.

Is AI making decisions for my child?

No. AI does not make decisions for your child. It:

• Makes suggestions

• Offers options

• Drafts text you can edit or ignore

Parents remain fully responsible for all choices.

Can I see and edit everything AI creates?

Yes. Anything AI creates is shown to you as a draft.

• You can edit, accept, or delete it.

• Nothing is final until you decide.

Is my child’s data used to train AI for other users?

Absolutely not! No personally identifiable student data should be used to train models for other users. tamos is designed with privacy in mind. See the main Privacy Policy  and AI-Disclosure on the App or website (footer) for full details.

Children’s privacy
A parent/guardian must create the account for any child user and provide consent. Parents can review, export, and delete a child’s data in Settings. 

Parents own the records they add. tamos only processes this data to run the app and create outputs you request. You can export or delete your data at any time. Privacy Policy

Who can see my family’s data?

By default:

Can co-ops, microschools, and schools use tamos?

Yes, BUT not with this version. Coming next: v2.5 Enterprise, built specifically for enterprise-level customers, with additional features that support how large organizations manage multi-program or multi-campus school operations.

• Work with multiple students

• Help families plan and document learning

• Use tamos as a shared planning and record-keeping tool

All consultants will only see the families who invite them.

Can co-ops, tutors, evaluators, college consultants, or any education institutions  everything about my child?

No. No person(s) or institution-entity can see any information about your student and can only see the information you choose to share with them. Parents remain in control of their data and access, at all times.

How hard is it to set up? 

Most families can:

• Add students

• Add a few courses

• Log first entries

within a short session. You can grow your records over time; you do not have to enter everything from past years on day one.

• Gradually add past courses and years when you have time

Many families start from the current year and then work backward later.
