I live in Calgary and am in 9th grade, but I want to be unschooled for grade 10 (high school). My mom goes to work and nobody's at home to teach me, so homeschooling wouldn't work and I want to learn about what im interested in by myself, especially in the areas of drama and music (of course i would also learn other subjects too like math, science, etc..). I've tried researching unschooling laws but couldn't find any. Homeschooling in Calgary requires parents to register with an accredited school board (don't know what that means...), so is the unschooling law usually the same as homeschooling laws? And if I do decide to unschool do I have keep records of my work at home and do I need to take some kind of government testing like public schools do?
Also is it okay to start unschooling in grade 10 (I really want to..), because I've been told that unschooling is only good for younger students in grade 1-6.
