Action4Canada Homeschool Webinar: Homeschooling Updates in Canada – May 14, 2024

Our special guest Peter Stock, president of HSLDA (Home School Legal Defense Association) joins us once again to discuss the latest homeschooling updates in Canada.

HSLDA is Canada’s largest association of homeschooling families. It is a non-profit organization devoted to protecting, empowering, and advancing home education in Canada. They provide legal services and professional homeschool support to help their member families flourish. Since 1991 they have represented homeschoolers in the courts and legislatures across Canada and worked to promote parent choice in education. https://hslda.ca/

Topics discussed include:

The status of home education right across Canada, including numbers and growth. Numbers have doubled since Covid.

Some trends they're seeing that are in opposition to home education freedom.

An exciting new trend in Canada - the explosive growth in homeschooling through the high school years.

Success in post-secondary admissions - a brief overview of how homeschool grads are faring.

The latest academic research findings - a very interesting study was recently published (see *Academic Research Findings below)
The results show that kids are:
1. doing better academically
