Curation of Contests for Homeschooling Canadians
Updated September 2, 2025
Home-educated students have access to a wide range of contests and competitions that can enrich their learning experience. Opportunities span across the arts, mathematics, and science, offering exciting ways for children to showcase their talents. Many of these contests include prizes — ranging from publication in an anthology to substantial cash awards — though some may require entry fees or have specific guidelines. Take time to review the requirements and explore options that align with your children’s interests or your educational goals.
