Australian Homeschool Community Software Plan Policy

Australian parents who choose to homeschool their children can participate in the Community Software Plan (CSP) in much the same way as families do in the formal school system. This will give them access to the greatly reduced CSP pricing.

The CSP is essentially a bulk purchase plan and as such, requires the lodgement of consolidated orders on behalf of a group of parents. It is usually administered through traditional schools, however, EdAlive will deem a group of homeschooling parents as a school for CSP purposes. A minimum of 15 products must be ordered to qualify for CSP pricing.

Follow these steps to conduct the CSP with your homeschool group:

  1. The homeschool group nominates a parent to act as co-ordinator.

  2. The co-ordinator contacts EdAlive by calling and asking to speak with the CSP co-ordinator. Alternatively, if you would like to register online, please click link below after reading the rest of the policy.

  3. The homeschool group is registered and a sufficient quantity of CSP leaflets (one for each family) is requested. Co-ordinators will be required to nominate a Return Date for orders to be received by themselves. EdAlive will stamp this date onto the leaflets before sending to the co-ordinator.

  4. Co-ordinators then need to decide how the orders will be distributed. If orders are not able to be hand-delivered, but need posting, EdAlive recommends adding an appropriate postage and handling fee to each order, approximately $10.

  5. The co-ordinator distributes the leaflets within the homeschool group.

  6. The co-ordinator collects the orders, collates them and then places the consolidated order with EdAlive, including payment. Please send single cheque/money order.

  7. Orders are then packaged up at EdAlive and sent to co-ordinator who distributes them as convenient (either by hand or through the mail).

'I think Spelling Force is a great thing for people who are a bit behind in their spelling and want to catch up. A good activity for people who want to be a better speller. I found that by playing the games I learnt the harder words that normally I wouldn't have been able to spell.'
– Jaime, aged 12
