New York families: no ESA yet — but we're ready when the legislation passes.
New York is one of the largest homeschool populations in the U.S. and one of the only states without a meaningful school choice program. Multiple ESA and education-credit bills are in committee. Simply Earth is tracking the legislation and will apply day-one. Join the wait-list — first families notified will get 10% off their first ESA-funded order.
Why we're prepared for New York
New York's homeschool population is one of the largest in the U.S. — estimated 25,000+ families. Yet it remains one of the only large states without an ESA or universal scholarship program. That's likely to change in the next 1-2 legislative sessions. When it does, we'll be ready. In the meantime, New York families subscribe at full price — and tell us the curriculum is worth it because nothing else solves the multi-age homeschool science problem.

New York ESA questions
No statewide ESA. New York has limited tuition tax credits in specific scenarios, but no broad-based homeschool ESA. Multiple bills are pending.
We can't predict legislative timing. Watch the State Senate Education Committee for updates. We track it monthly and notify wait-list families when there's movement.
No NYC-specific homeschool funding. NYC families on our wait-list ask about this often — same answer as statewide. We'll be ready when the law changes.
Many New York families do. The Recipe Box ($540/year, ~$45/mo) replaces multiple subscriptions and saves hours of prep weekly. Subscribers tell us the value math works even without ESA funding.
