We are a military family stationed overseas. What are the governments rules for us to educate our children at home?
Because military bases are considered to be part of the country whose military personnel is using them rather than part of the country whose soil it is on, you are considered to be residents of Canada. The Ministry of National Defence website has a section on Dependent Education Management – Outside Canada Education of Children How To Book, with chapters on home education options for military families: Home instruction: http://www.forces.gc.ca/dgcb/educat/howto/docs/PDF/howto13_e.pdf Distance education: http://www.forces.gc.ca/hr/dgcb/educat/howto/docs/pdf/howto12_PART_X_e.pdf Note, however, that some of their external links and email addresses are out of date.
