Have questions about home based learning in Ontario?

Explore our website to find out more about the legalities of home schooling, the resources that are available to homelearners, where to get homeschool curriculum materials, finding a homeschooling support group near you, and the different approaches families can take to home based education — from school-at-home to unschooling and all the diversity in-between. If you can't find answers to your questions on our webpages or in our Homeschool FAQ's, contact us through your local OFTP Area Rep, send us an email, or call our toll-free number for help from a volunteer.

Already homeschooling in Ontario? Join the OFTP!

Join the OFTP to support our work protecting the rights of all homeschoolers in Ontario. Not only do your membership fees pay for the cost of contacting government officials and school boards through phone calls and the printing and mailing of advocacy letters and documents, but your membership also adds to our numbers, which increases our clout to have an impact. You also receive Membership benefits, which include the newsletter, email lists, discounts and more.

Already an OFTP member? Volunteer!

Our group cannot exist without the volunteer work of our members. Whether you can only offer an occasional hour of your time or you're willing to take on one of the administrative positions that keep the wheels turning, every contribution of time and energy helps us survive and thrive as a group that helps all homeschoolers across the province. Many hands make lighter work, and every little bit helps, so please pitch in! Thank you!
