Welcome to the homeschooling world! Absolutely. You are allowed by law to home school in Innisfail, Alberta, nonetheless, make sure you follow the rules required to be homeschooled in Innisfail, Alberta. As it turns out, homeschooling in Alberta is considered one of the best places to homeschool in Canada as it requires little government regulations. Parents who wish to homeschool in Alberta are at liberty to choose most or all of the items they find appropriate for their student to study. A parent homeschooling their student at home is not required by law to be certified as a teacher in Alberta. Nevertheless, homeschooling 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 two 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)
