The Ontario Federation of Teaching Parents (OFTP) is a non-profit, volunteer-managed group committed to providing information about and support of home-based education to our members and the public at large.
We envision universal acknowledgement and acceptance of home-based education as a viable educational model.
The OFTP offers support to teaching parents as well as offering connection and a voice to members.
