Question

Is homeschooling free in Canada (b.c.)??

Answer 1

It has to be free.

In some cases, you can get some provincial funding, for books or supplies or extra lessons or whatnot. I imagine the total doesn't usually add up to what you'd be paying out, though.

Answer 2

It doesn't cost to homeschool anywhere.

In B.C., there are a couple of ways to homeschool. Check this site http://www.bchomeschool.org/ for more information on registering vs. enrolling.

Answer 3

I suggest you read this website:

And I copied some part of it for you:

"The financial cost will depend on the materials chosen. Curriculum companies will suggest complete programs including teachers guides and manipulatives which could cost well over a thousand dollars. However, basic programs can be acquired within the one hundred dollar range for one year of resources covering the basic subject areas in primary grades. All books, software and resources are the parents' expense with no obligation from the government or school to provide funding, materials or services.

The more important costs to consider are the ones to the parent and to the child. Sacrifices will be made requiring adjustments to the routine of having a child with you all day every day. Parents must carefully consider the demands put on their time to educate their child"
