We regret to inform you that the alumni banquet has been postponed until further notice.
Our venue had some unforeseen complications arise and is no longer able to host our banquet on May 10th. It has proven difficult to find another venue that can accommodate our event at such late notice. We are working on rescheduling and will get the new date out when it’s been finalized. If you’d like to be among the first alumni to know, please sign up for the WISDOM Alumni Association emails here.

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!
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.
Join us for 10 sessions of Biology labs! Whether you're working toward Biology credits or simply want to ensure a solid understanding of labs, this is an excellent opportunity for your student.
It's official - you now have the option to submit your resource expense claims online!
Just complete the expense form and upload that along with your digital receipts. Easy as that!
Popular gift-exchange generator Elfster recently interviewed Terry, one of our home school consultants and author of our Terry's TLC newsletter about helping to build meaningful connections while dealing with pandemic restrictions.
School-aged children have certainly been hit with challenges this past year, especially when it comes to connecting with the people they love the most. Not only have they been temporarily cut off from beloved grandparents and special family members, but when the global COVID-19 pandemic hit and schools closed their doors to in-person learning, their usual hub of activity shifted, leaving kids craving connections with classmates and friends.
Terry selflessly saw the need to foster relationships and help this homeschool community make meaningful connections. She was excited to think of something that would help during these difficult times — even a little.
