Dear Home Education Parent,

I am sending this email on behalf of the Home Education Team within Alberta Education.

Alberta’s government is committed to parental choice in education through the Choice in Education Act, including options for parents who choose to homeschool their children. Since this Act came into effect, it has been important for us to engage with stakeholders to make sure the Home Education Handbook (last updated more than 10 years ago) reflects recent changes and is useful for parents.

As a home education parent, we want to hear from you. We are releasing the draft handbook (attached) as well as an online survey to gather feedback from parents like yourself who are providing a home education program to their child(ren).

The purpose of the survey is to make sure the guide is clear and accessible; we also invite suggestions for improvement. We encourage you to read the draft handbook (attached) and provide your feedback by taking the survey. The survey is open until July 14, 2022.

Once we have received all of the feedback, we will review it carefully. The Home Education Handbook will then be finalized and posted on the Home Education webpage.
Thank you!
