Lessons that follow the NZ Curriculum, a patient guide called Hop, and everything parents need to plan, print and keep records. Built by a Kiwi homeschooling mum for kids who learn differently, and for every kid.
We get it. There's a lot of low-quality AI out there, and your child's education deserves better. So here's the honest version.
Every lesson comes from the official New Zealand Curriculum: 853 statements taken from the Ministry of Education's own website, each linked to its source. HopFocus was shaped with an overview from qualified teachers and teacher aides, to help make sure the curriculum is delivered correctly and that Hop's checks along the way are accurate.
AI helps Hop explain each topic in friendly, spoken words, using the things your child loves, from dinosaurs to Minecraft. That's the part that turns 'do I have to?' into 'one more?'.
Answers are marked by our system, not guessed by the AI. Every lesson, every answer and every curriculum statement shows up in your parent dashboard.
Not sure where the gaps are? Choose "Let Hop decide". A short warm-up game finds your child's starting point in each subject, and Hop keeps adjusting as they learn.
Hop follows the same NZ Curriculum schools use, year by year, with a balanced daily plan that covers every subject across the week.
Progress is shown in the same stages NZ schools use: Emerging, Developing, Consolidating, Proficient, Exceeding.
It might sound too good to be true. It's just everything a homeschooling family juggles, finally in one place.
Planner, printables, journal and records are part of the Homeschool plan.
See questions answered, stars, attendance and where your child is up to. Your Sunday email brings the weekly highlights to your inbox and links to a printable pack if you'd like extra practice.
Every topic is a proper lesson built for that subject, the way it would be taught in a New Zealand classroom. Hop explains it in small spoken steps, shows the working, asks questions along the way and gives a nudge instead of the answer when your child gets stuck.
Your child can ask Hop questions or snap a photo of their homework. Hop only helps with learning. Anything else, and Hop kindly sends them back to a grown-up at home.
Hop never rushes, never sighs and never says 'wrong'. Children earn stars, decorate Hop's Burrow, and every game is a learning game: Maths Facts, Spelling Bee, Quick Comprehension, Word Meaning Blitz and Word Upgrade. No mindless arcade games, just practice that feels like play.
Today’s subjects are laid out in one calm learning path.
Hop guides your child through each lesson step by step.
Children earn stars and can decorate Hop’s Burrow.

No. What your child learns comes from the official NZ Curriculum. AI helps Hop explain it in a fun, friendly way, answers are checked by our system, and you can see every lesson in your dashboard.
Yes. On the Homeschool plan you choose each day's subjects in the Planner. On any plan you can tell Hop what your child finds tricky and what they love. Or choose 'Let Hop decide', and Hop finds their level and the gaps for you.
No. There's no chat with other people, no other children and no strangers. Your child only talks with Hop. The only other adults who can see your child's learning are grown-ups you invite yourself, and you can remove them at any time.
HopFocus covers 8 subjects across 5 of the NZ Curriculum's 8 learning areas: English, Maths, Science, Social Sciences and Technology. It doesn't cover The Arts, Health & PE or Learning Languages, which most families do hands-on. You can log those in the Learning Journal so they're in your records.
