Roots Homeschooling History
Roots Homeschooling had its humble but significant beginning when a homeschooling mother wrote the board of Trinity Christian School, asking them to start a Christian homeschooling program. Originally called Trinity Christian School Home Education Program, Roots started in September 1994, assisting 8 homeschooling families, with a total of 16 students with three Educational Assistants (none of whom had homeschooling experience).
In the past several years God has blessed Roots with student numbers that average between 183 and 204. All of our educational assistants are current or past homeschooling parents and all are Christian Alberta-certified teachers. The Roots community has many opportunities for parents to be involved and, thanks to our parents, many services are available to assist our families. At the same time, Roots will not take over your child’s education because we are not in charge. Parents who have chosen to home educate are in the driver’s seat and Roots will support and encourage them, enabling them to meet their goals.
