Common Questions
Do I need permission to homeschool?
No. You are notifying the government, not asking for permission. However, they can investigate if forms are incomplete.
Is there a specific curriculum?
No. You must provide an education "equivalent" to public school, but you do not need to follow the Manitoba curriculum.
