2020 Homeschool Planner | Digital Download
Southern Hemisphere designed, the only one of its kind!
"The Mulberry Planner has made my home education journey so much simpler, and so far, flow much more smoothly. There are just so many good things to say about this planner! [It] ticks the boxes for learning records for my son, myself AND the authorities. And it’s all in one neat, gorgeous space. I found documenting the planning really overwhelming at the beginning. [We're] two and a half years in now, and it’s definitely a joy, not a labour."

"I am loving this planner because it’s so customisable... there’s something for every type of homeschooler or unschooler. We unschool, so the pages for lesson plans aren’t for me but I don’t have to have them! I simply don’t print those pages and print extra of what I need. Plus I can order things in whatever way makes sense to me! ... If you’ve been wanting a bit more organisation with note taking I really recommend this planner! You can totally make it exactly what YOU need."

"I'm getting a head start on next year's planning and I feel so organised with the lesson plan outlines in The Mulberry Planner. The hardest part for me has been choosing which of the gorgeous cover sheets I want to use! There is just so much choice and I can really make this planner my own. My son loves having his own record keeping pages to use too."
- THE PLANNER IN MORE DETAIL -
Here's a detailed look at what you'll get inside the full 2020 Mulberry Homeschool Planner.
12 Brand NEW Cover Options
Personalise your planner with one of twelve choices, or hit refresh halfway through the year with a new cover.
NEW! See a week, term, or year ahead at a glance
This year, we had requests for more options for viewing upcoming weeks, terms or the entire year at a glance. We designed these templates to cover all 8 key disciplines in the Australian curriculum, with an open-ended design to suit grades K-12.
NEW! Plan your homeschool by subject area (K-12)
The following subject planning pages are new to the Mulberry homeschool planner in 2020. These 11 pages are aligned with the Australian curriculum, and can be integrated with your unique homeschool approach if you wish. You can use them to plan lessons and ideas for the week, term or year. All are suitable for grades K-12. You can also use them to record learning completed in retrospect.
These templates feature term planning sections for the eight broad learning areas shown in the Australian Curriculum. The core areas of English, Mathematics and Science have disciplines that carry through Foundation - Y10, so we have specified those in the above planning pages. The other learning areas (Humanities & Social Sciences, The Arts, Technologies, Health & Physical Education, Languages) vary more between year levels, and we designed those as more open-ended planning templates to accommodate a range of curriculum options.
A journey of learning for the whole family
Capture your family's magical learning journey with templates designed to include the whole family or individual holistic growth.

"...We're now onto our fourth year of homeschooling... there's an evolving nature to it so I've used the pages that immediately spoke to me in terms of how the rhythm of our days go. I like to use the blank Morning Circle templates and customise them for myself. I've definitely used the Mama's book list - love that [the planner] has stuff for mums, not just kids."

"Setting out my planner I put the vision, snapshot of our family, yearly calendar, and lists at the beginning. Next is monthly calendars applicable for the current term. From there I set out week by week starting with notes, then lesson plans, morning circle, records of learning, reflections and notes. I add the nature finds, notes and quotes wherever I feel I want or need them."
QLD, Australia

"The circle planning pages have also been brilliant as this is something I am new to and the rigour offered by the exercise of completing the template has been super helpful."
TAS, Australia
Lesson Plan Templates
Simple, ready-to-print lesson plan templates (structured with prompts, and blank lined template).
Be inspired by beauty and wisdom
Need inspiration to get you through a particularly tough week, month or season? Doing life without school can be a tricky gig and feel isolating and overwhelming at times, so let the words of encouragement on these posters soak into your soul.
Bullet journaling note paper
We've included blank and lined note paper (2 extra templates from last year) as well as bullet journal style dotted paper so you can capture those moments of creativity, design, maths, architecture and engineering!
"Here's how I use my planner... It is my diary, planner and journal all-in-one. At the close of each school week, I prep my following week on the ‘plan’, and tabled ‘record of learning’ pages. I store that week’s pages on my clipboard - which sits out, readily available. As we learn, I document our journey on the daily ‘record of learning’ and ‘reflection + notes’ pages. I transfer the weekly pages back into my Term folder once complete, and begin a new week. It’s so easy!"
Australia
Annual and Term Reflections
Term and Annual summary templates (options for you, each child and the whole family).

Includes an annual calendar overview for 2020, and monthly sheets (with notes section and duo-tone week layout).
Term Dividers
4 term dividers - choose from dusty blue or white. (There are also 2 blank templates included for you to add your own term titles).
"As an unschooler I don’t plan a lot but I like to have all my homeschool materials organised and in one place and the Mulberry Planner has allowed me to do that. What I like about this planner is there are so many options and you only need to use what works for your family and your homeschooling situation. The addition of the blank templates means you can fully customise the pages if you want to. And it all looks cohesive and stylish!"
New Zealand
6 Section Dividers
6 x section dividers (lesson plans, resources, preparation, learning records, reflections, my lists).
14 list templates
List-makers, welcome to list heaven! Includes Mama's booklist, Dad's booklist, Kids booklist, Podcast list, Film list, Documentary list, YouTube list, Curriculum wishlist, Music list, Quotes I love, Habit training and (new on request!) 'Resources we own'. PLUS, there are 2 blank lists for you to customise your own.
"I was very happy to see the new Mulberry Planner has LOTS of list templates, and I’ve been busy filling them out and feeling virtuous about my gorgeous new lists (as opposed to the creased and crumpled bits of repurposed paper I usually use). I keep a book journal for myself, but I’m using the Mama’s Book List to keep track of the homeschooling-specific books I’d like to read or re-read. Having a curriculum list means I can keep track of what we’d like to try, what’s good now, what may be good in the future, and what’s not good for us at all. I’ll download and use each sample as we need it, and then either cross it off the list or purchase it."

Printing and displaying
Designed for flexibility
I've designed this planner for ultimate flexibility, because I know that every family's needs are different. For example, many pages have multiple layout options, and are open-ended to suit grades K-12. I've designed more than 170 pages but you definitely DON'T have to print every page! Once you've downloaded, simply look at each file and decide which recording and planning pages you'll use, and which cover and section dividers you prefer. Then build your own planner by mixing and matching! If your needs change throughout the year, your planner can change too!
For unschoolers too!
We get a lot of unschoolers asking whether this planner is suitable for unschooling. It's a great question... We have it on good authority that our planner suits unschoolers too! (See what they had to say about the planner here.) Why? While you may not use the lesson plan or weekly schedule template, there are 100+ pages that will help you record your children's self-directed learning.
A simple digital download
The Mulberry Planner comes as a set of DIGITAL FILES for you to download and print. It's a full set of 179 gorgeously designed pages, templates, printables, lists and calendars - basically it's your whole homeschool year... SORTED!
