Our Mandate

OFHSA speaks for members across Ontario. Input and concerns are communicated by individual Home & School Associations, Home & School Councils and Home & School Regions to the board of directors for action.

Resolutions are presented by members at the Annual Meeting of the Federation. Upon adoption these resolutions become OFHSA policy. Federation responses represent the collective voice of members.

Our Mission Statement

The Ontario Federation of Home and School Associations, a province-wide network of dedicated members, is committed to informed and proactive involvement in our homes, our schools and our communities, to obtain “The Best for Each Student”.

  • We believe “Home & School” at all levels is an advocate for the students in the public school system.
  • We believe co-operative and healthy environments in the home, the school and the community are necessary for the development of each student.
  • We believe local, provincial and national networking is essential.
