Who We Are

ACPEQ'S Partners

ACPEQ is affiliated with HSLDA (Home School Legal Defence Association), and leaders from provincial home schooling associations across Canada and the United States. 

ACPEQ's Philosophy

ACPEQ affirms the primacy of parental responsibility for the welfare, socialization and education of their children regardless of their philosophy of education.

ACPEQ is dedicated to the education and socialization of children in the natural setting of the family.

ACPEQ acknowledges that the state has an interest in the education of the young but asserts that such interest is secondary to the responsibility of parents over education.

ACPEQ believes that the right to home education includes not merely a right over the place in which the education occurs but a right to determine the content, process and timing of this education.

ACPEQ holds that student assessment is an integral aspect of the education process and that therefore parents have the ultimate right and responsibility to determine the methods and instruments to be used.

ACPEQ holds that the state must exercise its interest in the education of children by the least intrusive means.

ACPEQ pursues and recommends, within the framework of its philosophy, a policy of constructive interaction in dealing with officials of the Ministry of Education and local school boards.
