How Homeschool Shortlist may earn money, and what that does and doesn't change.
Updated September 2026
Right now
Homeschool Shortlist does not currently earn money from any link on this site. Links to publishers and retailers are ordinary links.
In the future
Some links may become affiliate links. If you buy through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. When that happens, affiliate links will be marked on the page where they appear, and this page will list the programs involved.
What commissions never change
Rankings. Every match comes from your answers and our published scoring rules. A program with no affiliate program is ranked exactly the same way as one with a program.
What we say about a program. Review summaries include the complaints parents report, whether or not we earn from the program.
Which programs we include. Free programs like Khan Academy and Easy Peasy are listed and ranked like any other.
We don't accept payment for placement, reviews or inclusion.
