Welcome,Yes, kids of all ages are authorized to be homeschooled in Blackfalds, Alberta. But make sure you follow the guidelines mandated to homeschool your kids in Blackfalds, Alberta. In reality, homeschooling in Alberta has been considered one of the most lenient and straightforward places to homeschool in Canada as it requires almost no government oversight. Parents who want to homeschool in Alberta are at liberty to have control over many or all of the elements they deem fit for their homeschooler to study. A parent or guardian homeschooling their homeschooler elsewhere than at school is not required by law to be certified as a teacher in Alberta. Nevertheless, studying with curriculum developed by a licensed teacher is highly recommended even if the licensed teacher is not an Alberta teacher. In Alberta, the homeschool laws and regulations are few compared to other provinces which might require some type of evaluation or annual testing. Alberta allows 2 different options for homeschooling in Alberta:
Home education program supervised by school authority (funded)
Home education program not supervised by school authority (notification only, non-funded)

Thanks 1978Faye! I will take what you said into account.
