Notification

Registration¹ for the 2024-25 School Year will open on Monday, March 18th, and will remain open until September 27th².

¹ For the 2024-25 school year, Alberta Education is continuing to include kindergarten-aged children (minimum age of 4 years 8 months old as of August 31, 2024) in the formal Home Education program. Registration with THEE thus includes students from Kindergarten to grade 12 for the 2024-25 school year. Funding per kindergarten-aged children is $450.50, which is an amount that is half the rate of a home education students who are in grades 1 to 12.

² The last day to register (that is, to "notify") so that you will receive your homeschool funding will be September 27th, but please do not wait until then (*Note: In the 2024-25 Funding Manual from Alberta Ed, the Count Date will be Friday, September 27th, even though the official Count Date is September 29th).  If your child is enrolled in any other school program beyond September 20th, and you transfer your child to our home education program after September 20th, then you are risking that your child's current school will not transfer-out your child from that school prior to September 29th in order that you may register/notify your child with our home education program on or before September 29th. You may hear the saying, "You have until September 29th to make your decision". Maybe, but the truth to that saying depends on your child's enrolment status during the last week of September.  By all means, do not send your child to the teacher-taught program or school campus on any day beyond September 27th.

Due to the problems that late-arriving (i.e. late in September) registrations pose for our program and for the student, we may not be able to support your intention to notify with our Home Education program if you wait until late September to complete the notification process.
