Two surfaces, one platform

Decentralized homeschool meets structured school.

Circles connects independent families with private institutions — without making either compromise.

Open network

Discover what’s around you

Browse classes, co-ops, tutoring and community circles near you — on an approximate map that never exposes a child’s address.

A private LMS for your school

Schools, micro-schools and co-ops get a private learning environment — roster, lessons, gradebook and announcements, optionally locked down from public Discover.

Org roster & invites
Course builder & gradebook
Institutional admin controls

From “what’s near us?” to “what’s due today?”

One platform for the whole journey — no spreadsheets, no scattered group chats.

01

Discover

Search local classes, tutors and co-ops on the map. Filter by age, subject, format and price.

02

Join

Request to join — guardians approve in a tap. Paid bookings are always authorized by an adult.

03

Learn

Assignments, lessons, grades, schedule and chat all live in one calm dashboard.

Everything in one place

Less app-juggling. More learning.

Circles replaces the patchwork of sign-up forms, payment apps, group chats and gradebooks with a single calm system the whole family trusts.

Trust & safety

Parents trust it with their children. That’s the whole point.

Safety isn’t a setting you turn on — it’s the default everywhere on Circles.

Child-safe by default

Minor data is masked in public surfaces unless a guardian explicitly consents.

Never an exact address

Locations snap to a ~1 km grid. Homes are never exposed on the map.

Verified hosts

Identity confirmed via Stripe Identity, with manual review as a fallback.

Guardian oversight

Approvals for joins, bookings and messaging — with notifications throughout.
