About THEE

Home education driven by parent's choice for their children.

What is THEE?

Traditional Home Education Experts (THEE) has partnered with Elk Island Catholic Schools (EICS) to help administer the home education program of EICS, which is a willing non-resident home education board. The designation of EICS as a willing non-resident home education board means that home education parents from all over Alberta may choose to register through THEE.  We welcome and serve homeschooling families from a host of differing backgrounds, beliefs, methods, and goals, and THEE supports homeschooling students from grade K to 12.

Services

THEE consists of a team who is familiar, experienced, and actively supportive of  home education.
Our support personnel include:

WHAT WE DO

THEE’s sole purpose is to support you, the homeschooling family! Our supports range from administration (there are always paperwork and forms to complete and file!) to curriculum selection, from reimbursements of home ed funding to the parents to the formation of the first program plan for the first-time homeschooling parents, and from post secondary advising to personal encouragement when you are having one of “those days”.

THEE is a member of the Home School Legal Defence Association of Canada (HSLDA Group No. 6049598).  

WHY CHOOSE THEE?

Since 1992, Traditional Home Education Experts (THEE) has been serving families throughout Alberta. By registering with THEE as your homeschool board, you will have access to a team of experienced home education specialists who can provide specialized consultation to help your family along your homeschool path.

Below you will find five major reasons why we believe that you should join us here at THEE!

PARENT TESTIMONIALS

Don’t take our word alone!  Read what homeschooling parents have said about their experiences with THEE to see why thousands of homeschooling parents in Alberta have chosen to homeschool with THEE.

INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT

Individualized support from veteran homeschool facilitators whose suggestions, comments, and recommendations will recognize the parent’s authority and will align with the parents’ values and goals for their children.

EDUCATION PLANNING & RESOURCE SELECTION

THEE provides individual academic counselling and suggestions for learning resources to each home educating parent to support them in their expressed purposes and goals for homeschooling. THEE will never prescribe or require a particular instructional method or set of learning resources; the parents are always in control of their program. We desire to encourage our families to pursue and achieve their personal, academic, and family goals by actively supporting and advocating for traditional homeschool.

HOMESCHOOL THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL!

THEE provides expert guidance to high school students and explains their options which include

(1) traditional homeschooling,
(2) high school credits,
(3) the Alberta Education diploma,
(4) Course Challenge (e.g. challenge exams
and portfolio assessments), and
(5) the special $650.00 grant for high
school students.

CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW

Foundational to all that we do is our Christian faith, and our prayer and goal is to conduct all of our interactions, consulting, encouragement, and support with grace and wisdom. We welcome the opportunities to support homeschooling families from a variety of faith or non-faith backgrounds.
