WISDOM Workshops are organized throughout the province where there is sufficient interest. If you gather 5 families who are committed to attend a particular workshop, we can put it on in your location. Elements of many of our workshops are included in our summer camps, socials and BBQs.

Payment options available:

  • You may use a purchase order if you have funding available. POs may only be used up to the end of May, so keep that in mind and register early for summer events.
  • We accept Visa and MasterCard. You can pay on our website or over the phone, and we will issue a receipt which you could then use to claim funding later on.
  • We accept cheques made out to WISDOM Home Schooling or The Gilbertine Institute.
  • We accept e-Transfers sent to billing@wisdomhomeschooling.com.

Remember, an event can't run without sufficient numbers to offset costs. Because we don't charge much more than necessary to cover costs, we require a minimum number of participants.

Cancellation: If we have to cancel an event due to low registration, we will refund your money. However, if you cancel within two weeks of a scheduled event, your money can not be refunded. Your last-minute cancellation may otherwise close down an entire event, if the funds are no longer there for us to run it.

Lessons are taught on zoom through the interactive Lichess website. The hour-long class is divided into 20 minutes of concept, 20 minutes of game and 20 minutes of personalized exercises and free homework.

Things parents are saying:

“I appreciated the positive encouragement and teaching. This is something Brett would set his clock for... it was fun to see him so enthused!”

“Thank you for your hard work and making this class run so fluid and understandable for all levels.”

“My boys have completely changed from these classes. They seem to see everything in a more logical and organized way. It's like chess has unlocked some sort of "order" in their thinking. They look forward, plan ahead and strategize through their days like they didn't used to. I could go on and on!”

“This is the first online class ever, that Felix enjoys. You probably don’t realise what a big compliment this is.”

Time in nature with wild food expert Kevin Kossowan. Learn about 10-20 species of wild edible plants and fungus, with a focus on their use in the home kitchen.

Things parents are saying:

“I can not fully express how incredible this experience was! Our guide was passionate and authentic with his imparting of his gift. It turned out that we were the only ones and as such got a private tour. What a gift of a course this was! I highly recommend it to anyone with the slightest interest in the outdoors. Even if you do not end up foraging anything for actual consumption, the knowledge and appreciation of God’s gift in nature will increase thus enhancing any natural park walk you take in the future.”
