Living in Montreal

The permanent exhibition introduces students to Montreal's history from the Iroquoian presence around 1535 until today. Through stories featuring 9-to-15-year-old children, the students become aware of changes in how society and territory have been organized in Montreal.

Hello Montreal homelearners.

My son and I will be in Montreal for most of the month of July and are seeking a housesitting opportunity for all or part of the time.  If you are going away and need someone to water plants and generally occupy the space, then we might be able to help.

I am a montrealer now living in rural BC, a single parent with a 9 year old homeschooling child.  We could pay a nominal rent to cover utilities.  I could care for an independent cat, but no dogs as we will be going on occasional 2-3 day road trips.

When: Monday afternoons from May 14 to June 11 (5 weeks), from 2 to 3pm

MOVEMENT EDUCATION for homeschooling families

Celebrating our 16th year of offering a Physical Education program for homeschooled children, we invite you to join us for our Spring session!

This is a 1 hour gym and swim program for homeschooled children aged 3 through 16 years. The program offers age appropriate activities where children can build a solid background in motor co-ordination through play. Under careful supervision children have the opportunity to develop an awareness of body in space through running, climbing, jumping, throwing, catching and rhythms. After a half hour of gym activities, the children go to the pool for a half hour of swimming instruction.
