Edmonton families register with a school authority (such as Edmonton Public Schools, Edmonton Catholic Schools, or independent home education boards like Wisdom Home Schooling, Mosaic, Wendell Krossa, Foundations for the Future). Smartious tuition is an eligible expense — we provide receipts and curriculum documentation supporting Home Ed Funding claims.
