WHAT is SHBE?

SHBE is a collection of hundreds of homeschool families in the province governed by a volunteer board of elected homeschool members.
SHBE is the official voice for home based educators in SK.
SHBE assists in creating a positive network and a positive political environment for those who choose home based education.
SHBE provides supportive, social, and instructional resources to our membership.

As a grassroots organization, our strength is in the involvement of our membership. Your membership makes it easier for others to home educate by identifying with SHBE as it negotiates with school boards and the Department of Learning. Numbers DO count!
