The 2024 AHEA Convention is just around the corner, and I'm sure many of you are making plans to attend. While our finance team will not be attending the convention in person, WISDOM is pleased to be able to offer Purchase Orders (POs) with select vendors during the convention.

PO processing will be the same for families at the convention as it is during the year, namely, you will shop with approved vendors and indicate your intention to use a WISDOM PO for your purchase. The vendor will email a preliminary invoice to us for approval, and upon approval from a member of our finance team, your order can be released to you. If there are vendors from our PO vendor list attending the convention but not listed as available for POs during AHEA, you are welcome to inquire with them about placing an order in advance of the convention to possibly pick up your order in person and save on shipping costs.

Read on for a full list of the vendors offering PO's at AHEA 2024.

WISDOM exists to support traditional (parent-directed) home schooling. Your family decides what is taught, how it is taught and when it is taught.  

To enroll:

• Please sign up (notify us of your intent to home educate) using our Parent Portal.
• Submit a copy of your child's birth certificate (or Canadian passport). Enrollment is not possible without valid ID. Upload via secure uploader.
• Create an Education Program Plan for each child.  This is your most important document, as it defines your home education program and assures your authority.  In order to give us time to review, suggest additions, and approve your plan, please provide it before the end of August.
• Refunds (for funded students) come via direct deposit for any reimbursement refund.  Please fill out an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Application and submit it with a VOID Cheque or a bank account verification letter.

To submit documents, email office@wisdomhomeschooling.com or use the Uploader found here.

Once we have received your notification we will contact you to verify that all has been received. 

A note on deadlines: The AB Ed deadline for the school to complete enrolments for funded students is the last business day of September. We do accept a number of post-funded families each year, so don't be concerned about applying. We're happy to help. Use the chat in the bottom-right corner of our website, during business hours, if you have any questions during the process.
