Whether you’re ready or not, the new school year is right around the corner. And while we love shopping the latest fashion trends, coolest (and comfiest) shoes, and most aesthetically pleasing backpacks, nothing gets us as excited for the back-to-school season quite like picking out one of the best academic planners.
Yes, we know it’s the 21st century and that your smartphone can help you stay on top of things with numerous apps. But, as scientific studies show, physically writing things down with pen and paper helps with memory and accuracy. AKA, you’re more likely to remember that you have a pop quiz in English on chapters one through five on Thursday. Plus, school agendas come with super fun accessories these days — think, stickers, highlighters, and washi tape — that beat the plain ‘ol Google calendar look any day.
Ready to make 2023-2024 the year you get focused and organized? Ahead, we’ve curated a collection of academic planners for college, high school, and beyond, available in every style of planning you can think of, from undated and weekly to monthly and hourly.
Blue Sky 2023-2024 Academic Year Weekly and Monthly Planner
Boasting over 6,000 five-star reviews, this academic planner by Blue Sky that includes both monthly and weekly views is an Amazon favorite.
Review: “Unlike many planners on the market, which can often be too bulky, too compact, or filled with unnecessary extras, this one strikes the perfect balance,” writes one reviewer, “It’s the ideal size, fitting snugly in my bag without taking up too much space, and comfortably resting on my small desk.”
Papier Academic Year Planner
We genuinely have never seen such a pretty planner. Just look at that baby blue toile! Even if it wasn’t gorgeous, we’d still buy it as the term schedule, assignment deadline, grade, finance, and meal plan pages are just so darn handy.
Day Designer 2023-24 Academic Planner
Clocking in as the most budget-friendly option on our list, this Day Designer takes you day by day (literally) with schedules and to-do lists, plus tabbed monthly views and goal-setting worksheets to help you plan a more productive and balanced school year.
Review: “I absolutely love this planner!” one reviewer writes, “It’s compact enough to fit inside my bag but big enough to write everything down. The design isn’t distracting, and the layout is simple….10/10!”
Clever Fox Planner
Late to the planning game? Not to worry — Clever Fox has got ya covered. This undated planner, which comes in over 20 colors, defines and breaks down your short and long-term goals in each area of your life, helping you incorporate these goals into your monthly, weekly, and daily agenda.
Review: One of the over 10,000 five-star reviewers writes, “I’ve gone through so many different planners over the years and have never really stuck with any of them because there was always “something” missing. This planner is brilliant and has been AMAZING for me to stay organized this year. I really wouldn’t change anything about it.”
Ban.do Academic Planner
Ban.do is known for its super adorable, vibrant, feel-good home decor, and its planners are no exception. Aside from the super helpful year, month, and week views, they’re filled with incredible artwork, tons of stickers, a coloring page, and so much more.
Global Printed Products Hardcover Academic Planner
What really makes this planner great is its storage pocket, clip-in sticky notes tab, bookmark, and complimentary sticker page. Plus, the three-ring binder design makes it simple to add more pages as you go or remove ones you don’t need. Make sure you clip the $5 off coupon before hitting ‘add to cart’!
Review: One shopper says, “I love these planners. They are great for both a weekly plan and to view your entire month. There is enough room on each day’s box to space out and clearly see even the most overbooked days!
