Community

AQED supports the efforts of homeschooling families to create networks, community spaces and meetings in order to share and respond to the socialisation needs of their children. 

With their francophone and anglophone Facebook groups, their members only group, conferences and information sessions, collaborations with support groups and other activities, AQED is a platform that facilitates networking and support between families. 

It allows Quebec families to share experiences, pedagogical resources, and other pertinent information, all of which makes it easier to achieve a positive homeschooling experience.

Mentoring

The mentorship program is between experienced homeschooling families who are available to help, listen and support families who are beginning and are facing all kinds of challenges.

The volunteer mentoring families: 

• Introduce themselves via the mentoring application in the members-only Facebook group; 
• Briefly introduce themselves;
• State whether they are comfortable with children of elementary or high school age, francophone and/or anglophone. 
• Indicate whether they are experienced with children of elementary, high school, more comfortable in French, English, etc.

If you would like support: consult the mentoring families' files, choose one of them, and contact them according to the posted procedures.

Support groups

What are they?

Support groups are made up of homeschooling families who have come together to support each other, share tips and advice, and to socialize. 

Some are made up of only a few families and are rather informal, while others have hundreds of members, their own premises or are registered organizations.
