No, even if you are not currently homeschooling you can support the work of HSLDA and stay updated on homeschooling issues across Canada and the world.  However, your membership does not qualify as a donation.

To financially support the homeschool movement in Canada through a charitable donation please support our sister organization, The Canadian Centre for Home Education. CCHE builds public awareness and support of homeschooling in Canada through research, community building,  and making home education resources available to everyone. It also provides financial support to homeschool families in need.  Your tax-deductible contribution would be greatly appreciated. 

It takes 2-4 weeks to process  your application once it has been received (longer during the busy season).  You will receive your membership information via email once your membership is processed. You are welcome to expedite your application with a non-refundable rush fee of $100 if you would like to have your application reviewed and processed within 2 business days. HSLDA reserves the right to not approve an application for membership.

If you are a single parent, a member of a registered HSLDA homeschool group, a pastor, a missionary, or a member of the Canadian military you qualify for a discounted HSLDA Canada membership. 

To receive your discount using the online application follow these three steps: 

1. Fill out the “Profile” section (and all additional information requested)
2. Indicate whether you are a single parent
3. When asked “Are you a member of an HSLDA Canada discount group?” Select “Member”. You will then see the option to “Select Your Discount Group” pop up. Click the down arrow to choose the discount group that applies to you–whether it be a vocational category or the name of the registered HSLDA homeschool group you belong to. Only one discount group may be selected

Your discounted membership will be automatically calculated for you on the form.

If you have a legal emergency or if legal action has been threatened or brought against your children, your homeschool, or anyone associated with it, a $100 legal fee is required. Because these require immediate review from our lawyers, the legal fee is non refundable. Approval is not guaranteed. Be sure to include details about your situation on your application and be prepared to submit copies of relevant documentation (letters, court documents, etc.).

Yes. All personal information is confidential—including whether or not you are a member, all contact and personal information, information about your family, and any information about legal services you have received.

HSLDA may send to you information on behalf of our partners, but we do not share your personal information with anyone.
