“Am I actually covering everything Ontario expects?”
“I want a real report card behind this — not just my own notes.”
“I want a say in what my child learns — not a script I have to follow.”
If any of that sounds familiar, you're not alone — and you don't have to guess anymore.

Program fee
$100/month minimum Program Partnership Contribution per child
This is a program fee, not a charitable donation — it is not eligible for a tax receipt.
Other homeschool programs hand you a fixed curriculum to deliver. Ours is built together — you get real input into what your child learns, alongside CGA's own teaching staff reviewing the work and confirming it's on track, with a real report card behind it.
Apply, schedule your child's placement assessment, and pay securely online — no waiting on a review before you can secure your spot.
Founding Family rate
$100/month is locked in for as long as you're continuously enrolled — the rate may rise for new families as the program grows.
Pay annually, save 2 months
$1,000/year instead of $1,200 when you prepay annually.
Sibling rate
50% off the program fee for each additional child you enroll.
Refer a family
Refer another enrolled family: they get $100 off their first invoice, and we'll credit your account too.
IEP families: Families of a child with an IEP may be able to claim a portion of this fee under Canada's Medical Expense Tax Credit. This is general information, not tax advice. Eligibility depends on your child's specific diagnosis and documentation — please confirm with the CRA and your own accountant/tax professional.

Wherever You Call Home
Homeschool families everywhere are welcome here — across Canada (every province, not just Ontario), the United States, and the United Kingdom, and around the world, including families in India, Pakistan, the UAE and wider Gulf region, Nigeria and West Africa, Colombia, Venezuela, and the rest of Latin America, Indonesia, Korea, Japan, and Europe, plus expat, military, and internationally relocating families anywhere else. Ontario's curriculum is a respected, internationally-used framework you can build on from anywhere. And because CGA is a real Ontario Private School — not just worksheets or a curriculum service — your child's work gets real, third-party verified grading from CGA's own teaching staff, not just a parent grading their own child.
Just a heads-up: homeschool rules vary by country and state, so it's worth checking that your local requirements line up with Canada's before you enroll.
FAQ
Common Questions
How does the application process work?
Apply on this page, schedule a short placement assessment, then pay securely online to secure your spot — no waiting on an approval before you can enroll.
Who actually signs the report card?
CGA’s own teaching staff review all student work and issue every official report card. Curriculum Fellows help shape what’s taught, but they do not issue grades.
Is the $100/month tax-deductible?
It’s a program fee, not a charitable donation, so it isn’t eligible for a tax receipt. Families of a child with an IEP may be able to claim a portion under the CRA Medical Expense Tax Credit — confirm with your accountant.
What’s a Curriculum Fellow?
Just check the box on the application if you want to be considered — it’s capped at 2 spots per grade, requires a bachelor’s degree (any field), and doesn’t change the program fee. It’s part of the same application, not a separate process.
CGA's own teaching staff review all student work and issue all official report cards. Program details, including application timelines, are subject to confirmation and may change before enrollment is finalized.
