New Brunswick Law and Application Process
By law, home education in New Brunswick is every parent’s right. You don’t have to hold a teacher certification or be a college graduate to do it. There are no reporting or annual testing requirements in NB.
Families are asked by the Province of New Brunswick to complete the Annual Homeschool Application Form and forward it to their local school district. This form states that you are taking full responsibility for the education of your children. Unless there is some reason for concern, the district office then forwards the form to the Minister of Education. He sends the family a signed letter stating they are approved to home educate for that current year.
Once you have completed your application form your child is registered with the local school district and you are good to go. If your children are currently in school, you can remove them and begin home educating them once you’ve registered via the above mentioned form. If your kids have never been enrolled in an institutional school you can simply continue learning at home. Just make sure you fill out the application form.
