Oak & Lantern is a homeschooling platform designed to make learning simple, flexible, and intentional — without an eight-hour school day. We help families create a peaceful learning rhythm that fits their lives.

Sage is your AI homeschool companion — a calm, encouraging guide for both parents and kids. It helps with homework, study support, note-taking, homeschool planning, curriculum ideas, and even finding co-ops near you.

Oak & Lantern isn’t an accredited school — and that’s intentional. We're a homeschool resource, not a diploma-issuing institution.

In the U.S., families do not need to use accredited programs to homeschool legally. Homeschooling is governed by state laws, and accreditation is not a requirement in any state.

Both. Sage is great for parents who want help planning or guiding the day, but it’s also designed for kids to interact with directly for help with studying, exploring ideas, or completing assignments.
