Frequently asked questions
How does Alberta's Home Education Funding work with Smartious?
Alberta has the most generous homeschool funding in Canada — $850 CAD per child per year, universal regardless of income. Families register with a board-of-record (Wisdom Home Schooling, Mosaic Home Education, Wendell Home Education, others). The board-of-record provides the funding (some refund the full $850 to families to spend on educational resources; others provide curriculum vendors directly). Smartious tuition can be paid using these funds at most boards-of-record.
Does Smartious help Calgary families apply to University of Calgary and U of Alberta?
Yes. University of Calgary (Schulich School of Engineering, Haskayne School of Business, Cumming School of Medicine direct-admit), Mount Royal University, SAIT, and University of Alberta (Edmonton — Faculty of Engineering, Alberta School of Business) all accept Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level. We provide free Common App, OUAC (for Ontario universities), and Canadian university application support.
