Schools in Manitoba
Educating Your Children at Home
In Manitoba, parents* may choose to homeschool their children. The Homeschooling Office monitors and supports homeschooling families throughout the province.
Important Notice: As of September 2025, compulsory school age is from ages 6 to 18. Parents must now register their child for school or notify for homeschool in September of the calendar year in which a child turns 6.
Parents complete and submit homeschool forms online from any device: phone, tablet, computer. One form is required for each child. To access homeschool forms click on the green Homeschool Forms button.
Formulaires d'enseignement À domicile
When completing an online form, each box must be answered in sequence.
You will be asked: “Are you homeschooling for the first time in Manitoba?”
- Answer “NO” if you have previously received a family number from the Homeschooling Office. You will then enter your family number. Contact the Homeschooling Office if you do not know your family number.
- Only answer “YES” if you have not received a family number.
Once this question is answered a “Form Submission” box opens allowing you to choose Student Notification Form, January or June Progress Report for either the previous or current school year.
| Form | Available Online | Due Annually |
|---|---|---|
| Student Notification Form | July 1 | September 1 |
| January Progress Report | January 1 | January 31 |
| June Progress Report | June 1 | June 30 |
| Parents must submit homeschool forms every school year. | ||
If you have questions about the online form or to obtain a paper copy of the Student Notification Form, or January and June Progress Report forms, contact the Homeschooling Office.
Homeschooling is when parents choose to be responsible for their child's education and not have their child attend a public or independent school. When parents choose to homeschool their child, they are responsible for obtaining resources and materials for the program of study. Provincial funding is not available to families who homeschool.
When planning for homeschooling, parents may view Homeschooling Videos, read Guideline Documents for Homeschooling and view samples of notification forms and progress reports. When families notify for homeschooling, they are connected with a Liaison Officer, who supports families to meet homeschooling requirements. Please visit Frequently Asked Questions and Resources for more information.
