Several years ago, when I began my homeschool journey, I recall being surprised at how challenging it was to find good, high quality Canadian homeschool resources. The disparity was clear.
However, I’ve noticed that since then, Canadian homeschool content is growing. Online stores are popping up across the country and more people are creating Canadian materials for home educators.
Below you will find some of my favourite Canadian homeschool resources. I imagine this page will continually evolve and grow as I discover more content, so make sure to check back periodically!
