There are also On-line school options here in Canada, that can be accessed from anywhere in the world. Depending on your situation, this might be something worth looking into. Particularly if your kids are in high school and looking soon to return to Canada for university. These schools are more prominent in some provinces than others (they are quite big in AB and BC), but are an option for a child from any province. I have family living in North Africa and they are choosing this option for their three oldest children and my own brothers did the same thing. These are provincially accreditted, and with this system, all your lessons and assignments are recievd (and submitted) online. Also you have a whole learning community ("school") that is also online and that you can discuss your learning with. The teachers are available online, yet you still have the priveledge of having your children near and being very involved in their education. Let me know if you want a few suggestions.

PS -- as a note I don't know of any that serve the younger years. Most that I am familiar with start in grade 7.
