Homeschooler Registration

This page will get you started in the registration process as a Home-Schooler.
If you are enrolling as a full Distributed Learning Student (DL Program), click here.

Homeschooling Registrations must be received before September 30th in order to receive any funding benefits.

We understand that not every home educator wants the accountability that comes with being enrolled with a DL program. Sections 12 and 13 of the School Act allow for families to register students as home learners. Parents who choose to register must provide their children with "a program", but they are not in any way accountable to the Ministry of Education and are not required to follow the Provincial Learning Outcomes. This differs from a DL program, where a student is enrolled, in terms of funding and expectations from the Ministry.

We provide our registered families with a acceptable amount in reimbursements for learning resources. These funds will be released after November 1st, providing the family has submitted receipts to us. We also encourage our registered families to become a part of our online community. (Call our office for amounts)

Homeschooled Reimbursement forms can be found here.
