Petition updateTHREATENED: Authentic Educational Choice in AlbertaNEWS UPDATE: Government of Alberta forces closure of Trinity Christian School Association

Trinity Christian School Association is best known for providing home education to 3 500 students through the Wisdom home education board, representing one third of Alberta’s total home educated students.
Regardless of the veracity of the allegations regarding financial mismanagement that are facing this private school, the Ministry of Education must be held accountable for their heavy-handed approach which has disrupted the education of thousands of students in such a sudden, unexpected way.
Please contact your MLA and advocate that families have the freedom to access diverse educational choices that will meet the needs of ALL students in this province.
Continue to inform others and spread the word on how authentic educational choice in Alberta is clearly under attack in this province.
John Carpay, President of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, said it best:
“Freedom is a seamless garment. You cannot unravel only one thread of this garment and expect it to remain intact. A violation of one person’s fundamental freedoms threatens everyone’s freedom. The respect – or lack of respect – that a government has for parents’ rights in education impacts every child and every family." https://www.jccf.ca/1935-2/
Thank you for your continued support!
