Approved Tags

Why tags matter for your listing

Tags help homeschool families quickly find the right resources by subject, topic, grade, and format across First Homeschool and The Neighborhood Marketplace.

To ensure search quality and keep the storefront consistent, sellers should focus on using the officially approved tags on this page when listing items.

Quick rule of thumb
  • Always add the main subject tag when using a topical tag under that subject.
  • Choose tags that describe what the buyer is actually getting.
  • Do not add any tags that are not listed on this page without prior approval.

How to use official tags

Core guidelines

Primary subject labels (for example, English Language Arts, Math, Science) are official tags in addition to the bullet-point topical tags beneath them.

If you use a topical tag from a bullet point under any subject, you must always include that subject’s main tag on the same product.

Example tagging for a middle school grammar workbook:

  • English Language Arts
  • Grammar & Mechanics
  • Middle School
  • Grade 7
  • Workbook
  • Used
Important: For consistency and to work well with Shopify search and filters, avoid using any tags beyond what is listed on this page unless leadership has approved a new tag in advance.
