Your homeschooling companion.
Learning Loom is a South African online homeschool tracking, assessment and reporting platform for families from Grade R to Grade 7.
Launching December 2026
We provide the structure. You enjoy the freedom.
All your work in one place.
Homeschooling offers the freedom to follow your child's interests, work at their pace and choose the resources that suit your family.
But keeping track of what has been covered, identifying learning gaps, assessing progress and maintaining records can become overwhelming.
Learning Loom brings these pieces together.
Instead of managing scattered notes, assessment papers and progress records, you have one organised platform to help you see where your child is on their learning journey.
You provide the learning.
Learning Loom helps you track, assess and document it.
Track. Upload. Assess. Record.
Why Learning Loom?
Education can be seen as the weaving of a tapestry — where each thread represents a moment of learning, a skill, a concept, or an experience that shapes a child’s development over time.
Learning Loom gives you clarity by connecting your child’s learning to key CAPS outcomes, structure through assessment and progress tracking, and confidence through clear records and reports of their learning.
Learning Loom acts as a bridge to translate your everyday learning, existing books, practical projects, and discussions into the formal outcome language used by the education system.
Three pillars. One connected learning journey.
-
Know what your child has learned.
Learning Loom organises key CAPS learning outcomes into manageable learning threads, helping you see what your child has covered, what they have mastered and what still needs attention.
View learning outcomes by grade and subject.
Identify learning that has already taken place.
Record assessment results and mastery.
Recognise areas that may need further attention.
See your child's progress over time.
Whether learning happens through a textbook, a nature walk, a project, a conversation or hands-on exploration, you can connect that experience to the relevant learning outcome.
A clearer picture of learning, without having to follow a prescribed curriculum.
-
Bring organisation to your homeschool, without losing your freedom.
You don't need to change the way you homeschool to use Learning Loom.
Continue with the curricula, books, programmes and teaching methods you already enjoy. Work at your own pace and decide when your child is ready to be assessed.
Learning Loom provides:
Grade- and subject-based learning threads.
Topical assessments, worksheets and rubrics.
A place to record results and mastery.
Organised learning records.
Termly progress reporting.
You remain in control of the learning journey. Learning Loom helps you keep its different pieces connected.
The structure is there when you need it. The freedom remains yours.
