CourseFetch is a course directory and search engine, not an enrollment platform. When you find a course you're interested in, click the "Register" button to visit the course provider's website. You'll complete enrollment and payment directly with the provider.

Yes! If you have an account, you can submit courses to our directory. Click the "Submit Course" button in the navigation bar. All submissions are reviewed by our team before being published to ensure quality and accuracy.

There are two main course formats:

  • Live courses: Classes meet at scheduled times with real-time instruction from teachers. Students interact directly with instructors and peers.
  • Self-paced courses: Also called asynchronous, these allow students to work through material on their own schedule. Content is pre-recorded or text-based.

You can filter courses by format to find the style that works best for your student.

When leaving a review, you can select what grade you took the course at. This information is used to calculate the average grade level for the course.

We currently support homeschool courses for students grades 6-12. We may add more grades in the future - please contact us if you have a suggestion.

While we appreciate the value of dual enrollment and community college courses, we focus on listing courses that are widely accessible to homeschool students across different regions. Since these programs are typically location-specific, we recommend checking with your local community colleges directly for dual enrollment opportunities.
