Canadian Home School Boards
Many home education families in Canada ask for information on how to contact school boards in their province. You will find a list of Alberta & British Columbia Home School Boards below
Before approaching a school board it is helpful to write out your family's educational philosophy. When you check with the board you are interested in you will then be better able to ascertain if their educational philosophy matches yours. If you need help in clarifying your own educational philosophy check Canadian Home Education Recommended Resources for some great home education parent resources.
Alberta has “Willing Non-Resident Boards” located throughout the province. You are not restricted to the location of the school board, instead, you can choose whichever board meets your family’s needs. As I write this, Alberta students have the choice of registering as a “Traditional”, “Blended” or “Aligned” student. Aligned students are required to follow the Alberta Program of Studies (yes, the very same one you took your children out of). Traditional students have more flexibility in what they cover. The onus is on the parent to “raise a good citizen”. Blended students pull from both the Aligned and the Traditional choices.

What is the difference between Distributed Learning and Homeschooling in BC?
Homeschooling families register with a school as homeschoolers and are free to educate their children at home as they wish. Depending on the school, homeschoolers may receive a little funding for books and a few other limited services. Distributed Learning students also learn at home under the supervision of their parents, but they are enrolled
Learning outcomes vary from province to province, and while it's important that our children are always learning, it's not always important that they learn according to learning outcomes. However, if you're looking for guidance, or if your

What makes our school board special? | We provide maximum flexibility. Our school provides you with quality educational choices through three unique options. Our options give families the broadest range of choice available, right from designing your own course of study to having an online, Christian school delivered to your student straight through your home computer - and anything in between. Our school is based upon Christian values through our dedicated, Christian teachers, staff and families. |
Why would a home education family want to register with our school board? | HCOS works well for parents who are dedicated to home educating their child(ren) but are not philosophically opposed to the accountability required within a DL program. It also works well for home-educators who are interested in working together with a teacher and a curriculum consultant to create a quality, individualized program of instruction for their child. For students K to 4 their curriculum will not be online based. Distance Learners, particularly in Grades 5 to 12, who are seeking an entirely accredited Christian educational program can find it through our online curriculum or with a combination of individualized courses. |
