If you're considering switching from a Family Plan to a Student Plan, you're not alone. Many families begin with a broader subscription to accommodate multiple learners, only to realize that a more focused, individualized approach better suits their current needs—especially when children are just beginning their educational journey. Whether you're exploring curriculum options, evaluating learning styles, or planning for future additions, understanding how to make this transition smoothly is key.
This guide walks you through the process of switching from a Family Plan to a Student Plan, addressing common concerns and providing clear, actionable steps to ensure a seamless experience.
Before making any changes, it’s important to understand what each plan offers. The Family Plan typically allows access to the full curriculum library for multiple users under one account, making it ideal for households with several children at different grade levels. It often includes shared progress tracking, multiple student profiles, and access to all course materials.
In contrast, the Student Plan is designed for a single learner. It provides full access to the curriculum tailored to one student, with personalized learning paths, individual progress tracking, and a streamlined interface. This plan is perfect for families who are just starting out or who want to focus on one child’s education before expanding.
If you’ve explored the curriculum and feel that your family’s current needs align better with a single student-focused experience, switching to a Student Plan is a logical next step.
The most straightforward way to transition is to cancel your current Family Plan subscription and then create a new Student Plan subscription. This process ensures that your account reflects your updated needs and avoids any confusion in billing or access.
Here’s how to do it:
It’s important to note that while you can cancel your current plan at any time, you’ll continue to have access to all content until the end of your current billing period. This gives you time to set up your new plan without interruption.
A common concern when switching plans is whether your child’s progress, saved work, or profile data will be lost. The good news is that your student profiles and learning progress are tied to your account, not the subscription type.
When you cancel your Family Plan and switch to a Student Plan, your existing student data remains intact. You can still access past assignments, completed lessons, and progress reports. However, the new Student Plan will only allow one active student profile at a time. If you have multiple children in your account, you’ll need to manage them carefully—either by switching between profiles or by adding new students later when you upgrade again.
If you plan to add more children in the future, you can always upgrade back to a Family Plan or add additional Student Plans as needed. The flexibility of the platform allows you to scale your subscription as your family’s educational needs evolve.
Yes, absolutely. One of the strengths of the platform is its flexibility. If your family’s needs change—perhaps a second child is ready to begin learning or you want to provide access to multiple students—you can easily upgrade your Student Plan back to a Family Plan at any time.
To do so, simply visit your account dashboard, select the option to upgrade, and choose the Family Plan. Your existing student data and progress will remain preserved, and you’ll regain access to multiple profiles and shared resources.
This scalability ensures that your subscription grows with your family, not the other way around.
When you cancel your Family Plan, you’ll continue to have access to the service until the end of your current billing cycle. If you’re switching mid-cycle, you won’t be charged again for the new plan until the next billing period.
There is no automatic refund for the unused portion of your Family Plan. However, the platform does not charge you for overlapping subscriptions—meaning you won’t be billed twice for the same time period. If you’re concerned about billing accuracy, you can review your invoice or contact support to confirm your next billing date.
For families planning ahead, consider scheduling your cancellation and new subscription to align with the end of a billing cycle to avoid any gaps or overlapping charges.
One of the most common reasons families start with a Student Plan is to focus on one child’s education while planning to add others as they grow. The good news is that the platform supports this growth path.
When you’re ready to add another student, you can either:
Both options are available through your account dashboard, and you can manage all subscriptions from a single location. This makes it easy to scale your educational investment as your family expands.
Switching from a Family Plan to a Student Plan isn’t a step backward—it’s a strategic adjustment that aligns your subscription with your current educational goals. Whether you’re just beginning your classical liberal arts journey or refining your approach for a single learner, the platform is built to support your evolving needs.
By canceling your current subscription and creating a new Student Plan, you ensure that your account reflects your current priorities. Your data remains safe, your access continues uninterrupted, and your future options remain open.

Remember: education is a journey, and your subscription should reflect where you are today—and where you’re headed tomorrow.
