Why Become A Member?
Reason #1: Becoming a member of HENB helps us provide a unified voice, should the government propose changes to the legislation and the Education Act. Home Educators of New Brunswick works closely with Home School Legal Defence (HSLDA), who exists to help defend your right to homeschool.
