Homeschool law in Quebec

Quebec has the most stringent homeschool oversight in Canada. Families must submit an annual Learning Project to the Ministère de l'Éducation, maintain a detailed portfolio, undergo periodic evaluation by a Ministry-appointed evaluator, and demonstrate progress toward Quebec Education Programme (QEP) objectives. English-language homeschool is permitted alongside Quebec's French majority.

Frequently asked questions

How does Smartious work with Quebec's Learning Project requirement?

Quebec requires families to submit an annual Learning Project (Projet d'apprentissage) to the Ministère de l'Éducation detailing curriculum objectives, methods, and assessment. Smartious provides Cambridge IGCSE/A-Level syllabi mapped to Quebec Education Programme (QEP) objectives, graded coursework, and quarterly progress reports — exactly the evidence Ministry evaluators require.

Can English-speaking Quebec families homeschool with Smartious?

Yes. Quebec law permits homeschool in either French or English. Smartious instruction is in English (Cambridge IGCSE/A-Level), which is particularly valued by Anglophone Quebec families and those targeting McGill, Concordia, or international universities. Some families add French A-Level (Cambridge 8682) for bilingual academic credentials.

Is Smartious recognized by McGill and Concordia?

Yes. McGill (one of Canada's top universities), Concordia, Université de Montréal, Université Laval, UQAM, École Polytechnique, and HEC Montréal all accept Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level qualifications. McGill's competitive Medicine and Engineering programmes particularly value Cambridge A-Level rigour. We provide free CRC (Cote de rendement collégial)-equivalent transcript guidance for Quebec-specific application requirements.

How does Smartious handle the Ministry of Education portfolio evaluator visits?

Quebec's Ministère de l'Éducation conducts periodic portfolio evaluations to verify homeschool quality. Smartious provides comprehensive curriculum documentation: detailed lesson plans, graded coursework samples, attendance logs, teacher feedback, standardised assessment results, and quarterly progress reports. This evidence base typically satisfies Ministry evaluators in routine reviews.

Can my Quebec child use Smartious instead of Quebec Education Programme (QEP)?

Quebec requires homeschool families to demonstrate progress toward QEP objectives, but does not require strict QEP curriculum delivery. Smartious Cambridge IGCSE/A-Level maps cleanly to QEP English, Mathematics, Sciences, History, and Geography objectives — we provide explicit QEP-mapping documentation for Ministry reviews. Many Anglophone Quebec families prefer this approach as it strengthens McGill and international university applications.
