Homeschooling Growth in Canada

Canada also has a large and growing homeschooling movement, with a number of homeschooled children nationwide "around 60,000," according to an article in the September 1, 1997 issue of MacLean's magazine. That figure would suggest about 1 percent of Canadian school-age children are homeschooled, a proportion consistent with provincial figures I am still gathering. Canada enjoys an excellent World Wide Web site with pan-Canadian information about homeschooling

, put together as a cooperative effort by homeschoolers from coast to coast in that vast country.

Canadian Home Schooling Organizations

Canadian Home-Based Education Page: Astounding example of pan-national cooperation among homeschoolers who in most instances have never met one another in person. Links to information about every province in Canada. An inspiration to me, as it should be to every homeschooler in other countries.
The Ontario Federation of Teaching Parents: Web site for provincewide organization of homeschoolers in Canada's most populous province.
Saskatchewan Home-Based Educators: Multipage site of a Saskatchewan homeschooling organization.

So far I think Google is the best full-text search engine for searching the whole World Wide Web, so I've decided to let everyone who visits my site know about it by putting a Google search box right here on this page. If you want a tough on-line search challenge, try a Google search for official statistics on the number of home-schooled children in a place you are interested in. I'll think you'll find Google generally produces very good search results, but this kind of search is just plain tough. Please let me know what you find.

. . . and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
