We’re saying goodbye to EP for Home

We will soon stop supporting EP for Home. This article outlines why we're doing this, as well as next steps for active users.

What's happening?

It is with regret that we announce that we will soon stop supporting EP for Home.

It’s been a privilege to work with so many wonderful homeschooling families, however, we are unable to continue investing in the product & personnel support required to meet the unique needs of the community.

The decision to discontinue EP for Home did not come lightly. As our product continues to evolve, it moves further away from meeting the needs of our homeschooling community. In an effort to ensure we align our resources to achieve the greatest educational impact, we conducted a full scale review of the support required to meet the unique needs of the community. This included platform enhancements, content rebuilding, and personnel to support the data, software & operations of the product.

What does this mean for me?

To give you extra time to find a new solution and to retrieve your EP data, we have decided to extend access to EP until April 12th, 2024. Please ensure you have downloaded your data by this date; after this, you will no longer be able to access the platform. 

We will also be offering this at no cost to you. This means you will have free access from 1st January, 2024 and will be refunded any remaining subscription you may have paid for after this date. We will process these by January 31st, 2024. 

If you have cancelled your subscription since our announcement on November 15th, 2023, you will also receive this period of free access. Your access will be reinstated automatically on 1st January, 2024 and there is no need to contact support.

These updates are in line with the updated terms and conditions we notified you about on November 20th, 2023.

Can we still utilise EP as a 'School'?

We understand the desire to form a homeschooling 'School', and this was discussed internally as an option as part of this decision. However, the technical development to ensure our product works effectively and complies with data privacy laws and best practices means that this is not a feasible option.

Refunds and renewals

Soon, EP for Home users will no longer be able to access the platform.

Any refund owing will be processed by January 31st.
