Hi everyone,

My name is Mike Tholfsen, and I am a Principal Program Manager for Office 365 Education, here to talk about a special offer for all homeschoolers today.

On November 14, 2016, we started a pilot program to make Office 365 Education available to homeschoolers across the United States.  This is a limited-time pilot to help us collect feedback and learn more on  how key education tools like Class Notebook, Forms, and Microsoft Classroom can work better and empower home educators and homeschoolers in the comfort of their own home.

Due to overwhelming demand of the pilot, we have already fillled up our inital set of spots.  We are trying to open up a few more in the coming weeks, but for now the pilot is closed.

If you’re already trying out the pilot and need help, we’ll be answering your questions right here, so please read on and post your inquires below.

How do I apply for the program?

To apply and learn more about the pilot program, visit Homeschool pilot program for Office 365 Education.  

Am I eligible to apply?

Learn more on eligibility and how to apply by visiting Eligibility for the Office 365 Homeschool pilot program.

Is there any device requirement?

No, we are piloting this program across devices.

How do I get started with the pilot program?

To get started, we recommend you read Get started with the homeschool pilot program for Office 365 Education.

Thank you for your interest, we look forward to hearing from you.

Best,

Mike

    I signed-up for the homeschool pilot program manually since the HSLDA "list" was full. I was accepted and

    provided with a link. Unfortunately the page that opens asks for an HSLDA ID which, although I have one, doesn't work since I signed up manually. I have tried numerous times to create a tenant in other ways, but no one seems to be able to work. If the program is still available to my homeschool, please let me know what to do or send me another link.

    Many thanks,
