Age Requirements
Homeschool Hive requires users to be at least 13 years old to create an account, in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
If You're Under 13
If you're under 13, a parent or guardian must create and manage the account on your behalf. Parents can add children as family members through their own account without needing separate accounts for minors.
Parental Consent
During registration, you may be asked to verify your age. If the system detects that an account holder may be under 13:
- The registration process will pause
- A parental consent verification step will be required
- A parent or guardian must complete the verification before the account can be activated
This process protects children's privacy online and ensures compliance with federal regulations. Parents maintain full control over their children's information through the Family Members feature.

- Go to homeschoolhive.co/login
- Enter your email and password, or click Continue with Google
