Schooling children at home is an option parents and/or legal guardians have in Manitoba as an alternative to compulsory attendance at a public or private school, providing certain policy requirements are met. The Public Schools Act requires parents/guardians to notify the Minister of their intention to home school their child(ren). This is done through the Home Schooling office. Parent(s)/legal guardian(s) must also provide the Home Schooling Office with a comprehensive education plan and submit two annual progress reports. The Home Schooling Office asks that the parent(s)/legal guardian(s) notify the school division in which they reside that their children will be home schooled.
