Let’s Flip the Question: Why Would You Ever Stop Homeschooling?
When: Friday, April 4, 7-9:30 pm
Where: Spruce Grove Alliance Church
Why homeschool? A better question is—why stop?
Join us for a powerful and thought-provoking evening with Dr. Brian Ray, a leading international expert on homeschooling research and the president of the National Home Education Research Institute (NHERI). With over 40 years of research and experience, Dr. Ray challenges conventional thinking about education, exploring the philosophy, history, and real-world outcomes of homeschooling.
This talk will equip, challenge, and encourage attendees—whether you're new to homeschooling, a seasoned veteran, or simply exploring your options. Dr. Ray will engage with deep yet accessible questions about truth, education, and the future, backed by research and real-life application.
Who should attend?
- Parents considering or committed to homeschooling
- Educators and advocates for alternative learning paths
- Anyone interested in the philosophy and efficacy of homeschooling

Join us for WISDOM’s Family Camp, celebrating 30 years of WISDOM Home Schooling!
WISDOM began as a way to meet the needs at the heart of home schooling families, with service offered ‘by home schoolers, for home schoolers’. That passion for this amazing lifestyle continues to this day, as we continue to work to help parents teach their whole child. Join us at this fun family camp to connect with other WISDOM families, reminisce, and celebrate!
Chart your course with us as we explore all of the angles of home schooling through high school with confidence. Enjoy talks, a panel/round-table discussion, post-secondary institutions, career inspiration booths, home schooling experts, a Friday breakout session for teens, and more. This conference is for parents and students aged 12+.
It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of John Hoekstra. John has been an integral part of the WISDOM community for 16 years as an employee, and years before that as a WISDOM father. He was instrumental in developing and sharing the Mediated Learning program with hundreds of students and their families, and most recently co-developed the Jumpstart Journal for use in the Mediated Learning High School Workshop. John also shared his love of sports and the great outdoors in his role as our Athletic Director, leading many events for WISDOM including ski days, rock climbing, archery, outdoor survival, track and field and more. John's passing leaves an enormous hole in our organization and we will miss him deeply. John leaves behind his wife, Liesbeth, eight children, a son-in-law and grandson. Please join us in praying for John’s family.

WISDOM exists to support traditional (parent-directed) home schooling. Your family decides what is taught, how it is taught and when it is taught.
To enroll:
- Please sign up (notify us of your intent to home educate) using our Parent Portal.
- Submit a copy of your child's birth certificate (or Canadian passport). Enrollment is not possible without valid ID. Upload via secure uploader.
- Create an Education Program Plan for each child. This is your most important document, as it defines your home education program and assures your authority. In order to give us time to review, suggest additions, and approve your plan, please provide it before the end of August.
- Refunds (for funded students) come via direct deposit for any reimbursement refund. Please fill out an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Application and submit it with a VOID Cheque or a bank account verification letter.
To submit documents, email office@wisdomhomeschooling.com or use the Uploader found here.
Once we have received your notification we will contact you to verify that all has been received.
A note on deadlines: The AB Ed deadline for the school to complete enrolments for funded students is the last business day of September. We do accept a number of post-funded families each year, so don't be concerned about applying. We're happy to help. Use the chat in the bottom-right corner of our website, during business hours, if you have any questions during the process.
