Enroll with the province?
| I was browsing about how to get my children a high school diploma and still home school. Turns out our province has thier entire curriculum online. My kids can turn thier work in, be graded and have an official diploma. Further digging found that one place even offers elementry for just $120 a year! The grade, but do not provide diploma's or report cards at the elementry level. But the problem is some of the very reasons I chose to HS. I don't want the kids learning some of the stuff they teach in school, but I could go over anyhing we don't believe. I wanted a fully Christian education. I could add bible on the side. But I like hat our BJU math is biblical. I don't really want God on the side. We are very blessed in Ontario that you only have to send in a letter of intent to homeschool if your children have been enrolled in school before. With this place, the leter would become mandatory for us. I like just kind of flying under the radar. I don't bug them, they don't bug me. Plus, I put myself up for discrimination. What if my kids don't get thier way of teaching and do poorly? I can't just switch to a different program like I do now. If the goverenment deems you aren't providing satisfactory education, then they can force you to put your kids in school. So with all that negative, why even do it? I'm always afrraid I'm not teaching enough, that my kids aren't on par, even though they are ahead in math. I want the absolute best for my kids. I just want to be sure they are getting the best. I'm not sure what to do. |

You're right when you say that that is why you homeschool - the freedom! don't let your fears "yoke you with unbelievers".
You can and are most likely giving your kids a great education, especially if you're using BJU. It's thorough and Christ-like. If you are concerned, then just stick with a complete curriculum and follow it year by year and you'll be right on track.
You can create your own transcript and diploma at the end, or even join BJU Academy for highschool and then you'll have a diploma from them - a true university.
There are so many options without having to join up with the government.
