It is no longer operating, but Wendy continues to write, speak and advocate about learning without schooling around the world.

The Ontario Federation of Teaching Parents (OFTP) is a provincial homeschool group providing support to homeschooling families and information on home-based education to our members and the public at large.

As a collective voice for the homeschooling community in Ontario, OFTP also serves as an advocacy group and link between the homeschooling community and the provincial government, school boards and other agencies. Through our liaison work with the Ministry of Education, we were instrumental in bringing about an official change in the Ontario government's policy towards homeschoolers, released in June 2002 as Policy/Program Memorandum #131.

OFTP is non-profit, run by volunteers, and open to all homelearning families, inclusive of all languages, all faiths/philosophies and all educational styles. We enable networking among our members through our newsletter, online homeschool discussion groups and home-based learning conferences.

 

Nova Scotia Home Education Association

NSHEA represents a growing number of families committed to quality education of their children at home.

The purpose of the organization is: to safeguard the rights of homeschooling families, to promote awareness of homeschooling within the province, and to represent their interests at provincial and local levels.

We welcome your support in achieving these goals. NSHEA is non-denominational and inclusive. It represents families that have a wide variety of reasons for educating their children at home and use many diverse methods to accomplish their goals.

 

The Alberta Home Education Association (AHEA) began as the response to challenges that had begun to plague home educators in the province of Alberta. Home education had, for many years, been the domain of families who had poor access to regular educational facilities, due to distance and other factors.

In the seventies, a movement began that was to change the face of education in Alberta. More parents were becoming concerned about the secularization of education in the province, and as a result, alternative education methods began to spring up.

Included in the movement was a growing body of parents who decided that educating their children at home was the preferred method. For some, the school authorities were supportive, but for many more, the authorities were hostile. Because of the small numbers in this environment, school authorities found it easy to intimidate parents, and methods of appeal were limited.

As a result, a small but knowledgeable group of parents decided to develop a provincial organization. On November 26th, 1986, AHEA registered under the Societies Act of Alberta.

 

Welcome to the BC Homeschool Association

Homeschooling is one of the four educational options that parents are choosing for their children in Canada, along with public school, private school, and distance education.

Homeschooling was the original school; however, it has only been in the last decade or two that parents are taking a closer look at the quality of education that their children are receiving and the environment in which it is being administered. The reasons to assume the responsibility to school one's own children at home are varied, but one thing is very certain: this educational option is here to stay!

This website is here to provide the homeschooler with a central source of information on homeschooling. We hope it can help you to determine if it is a viable educational option for your family, and to assist you in the task of teaching your children.

 

Education Otherwise is a UK-based membership organization which provides support and information for families whose children are being educated outside school, and for those who wish to uphold the freedom of families to take proper responsibility for the education of their children

 

This site is home to the UK Home Ed list, somewhere to get everyday home ed and unschooling advice and express concerns. There are educational quotes, articles, book reviews, places to visit and endless more help and encouragement.

 

You will notice that this site is biased towards Home Education. I am not 'anti-school'. The aim of this site is to help parents and children to make informed decisions together as to which style of education, and which method of delivery, will be best for each child.  I also offer down-to-earth support, resources, products, services and camps, by home educators for home educators.  The home education information on this site is relevant in the UK (England), but most of the tools and services are accessed by users worldwide.

 

As you're visiting this website you're probably one of the many families wanting to know more about what has been called ‘the quiet revolution’.

Perhaps you're turning to home education as a last resort because of problems in school which cannot be resolved, or maybe your children are young and you want to take full responsibility for their education from the beginning.

Whatever your situation we want to welcome you and we invite you to explore the new world of home education.

 

An UK homeschooling website that has many resources. It’s seems to be more geared towards early childhood education, but has other links to other UK homeschooling sites for the older children. Currently, parts of it is under construction, but it looks like it will be a fun yet informative site once it is all finished.

 

Do you believe that learning is the key? Anthony J. D'Angelo said "Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you'll never cease to grow"

As home educators, that is our aim for our children: to help them develop (or rediscover, if school has taken it from them) a passion for learning. Dan Snow said "When teaching, light a fire, don't fill a bucket" and that also sums up our approach: we don't seek to cram our kids full of facts to reproduce in an exam but to set them aflame with a love of discovery and an interest in the world around them.

This site aims to provide you with information about the UK Home Educators support group, and also hopes to provide you with plenty of help with regards to home education in general. The site is updated regularly - such as our monthly educational resources and our brand new Directory of Educational Websites - so why don't you bookmark this site so you can find us again easily!

 

A source of information for parents/carers and young people who are starting out on the home-education path, as well as those who are contemplating the idea or who just want to know more. We hope it will also provide reassurance to all families, that home education is alive and kicking in Scotland, and that independent information and support is freely available from Schoolhouse.

Kiwi Home Educator

This home education / home schooling / homeschooling site for NZ (New Zealand) / Kiwis has information about home education or home schooling in NZ; and legal and other info.

Since our children are beyond school age, and we have always had few volunteers, we have decided just to point you to the facts - and to other sources of HE information.
