Greetingshomeschool-placer. It is not mandated by law for homeschooled children in Alberta to maintain records, nonetheless, it is deemed considerably helpful and valuable to create a homeschooling portfolio for your child’s progress for each grade. This information is very important when it comes to developing a high school transcript for future college or career needs or in case the homeschooler needs to return to school for any reason.

As a parent, you might want to consider things worth keeping record of. A couple of pointers for you:

• For any standardized exams taken, maintain record of the scores

• The grades by subject received by the student

• The subject work covered at each grade level

• Other achievements of the student including extracurricular activities the student participated in

• Any volunteer time the student performed while homeschooling

This page lists a lot of good guidance regarding homeschooling in Alberta:

No, it is not a requirement by law to keep records for homeschoolers. Based on trial and error I've decided to only use complete Alberta homeschool programs that is by province licensed teachers like the ones Lernsys provides.
