Homeschooling Christ the Redeemer School Division in Okotoks has been providing home schooling services to families since 1989, and presently supports nearly 800 home educated students throughout the province.
Parents choose home education for a variety of reasons.
As taught by our faith, the Division embraces the teaching that parents are the primary educators of their children. The Home School Office works collaboratively with parents, providing support and assistance to those who are called to home educate their children. Parents choosing home education often speak of the experience as a gift to their family and an opportunity to fully educate and be more present to their children. Home Schooling is a viable education option and is fully recognized by Alberta Education. Parents may choose to provide their children with a program that follows the curriculum as taught in public schools or they may choose a curriculum that meets basic learner expectations.
