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.

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.”
