A mom sent us a DM on Insta asking us what we know about homeschool your child in Ontario and this is what we found out. -TB

A BREAKDOWN OF TO HOMESCHOOL YOUR CHILD

1. Determine your child's status:

• If your child has never been registered in school and is under 6 years old, you can start homeschooling without any formal process.
• If your child is 6 years or older and has never been registered, you can also begin homeschooling without notifying anyone.
• If your child is currently enrolled in school, you'll need to withdraw them formally.

2. Submit a letter of intent: While not legally required, it's recommended to send a letter of intent to your local school board. Include your child's name, gender, date of birth, your phone number, and address. Send this letter annually before September 1st.

3. Choose your curriculum and teaching methods: In Ontario, you can choose any curriculum and teaching style that works for your family. You're not required to follow the Ontario curriculum or use specific resources.

4. Consider joining homeschool groups or co-ops: These can provide support, socialization, and shared learning experiences for your child.

5. Keep records of your homeschooling activities: While not legally required, it's a good practice to maintain records of your child's educational progress.
