Parents have the right to home school a student as outlined in Sections 12 and 13 of the School Act.  Such students must be registered at a school of the parent’s choice.

The School District will provide services to registered home schooled students as outlined in Section 3 of the School Regulation.  Those services include:

  1. Evaluation and assessment of the student;
  2. Loan of educational resources materials; and
  3. Audit of school courses where space allows, upon payment of a fee.

Evaluation and assessment of the student may be arranged through the school principal.

Home school students may have access to educational resources through the school library. The Principal may set limitations to usage so as to ensure the availability of the resources for regular students. The School Principal has authority to set rules and expectations for home school students entering the school and using library resources.

Arrangement to audit a school course will be done with the school principal. The fee to audit a school course will be calculated as the fee charged to an international student pursuant to Regulation 1220-10 multiplied by the proportion of time for the course to the time of a full-time student.
