Homeschooling

Registered Homeschooled Child

Parents of registered homeschooled children are responsible for the curriculum, selection of educational resources and implementation approaches, assessment and evaluation of the child's progress, and supervision of the educational program. Homeschooling programs are not supervised by a British Columbia certified teacher, are not required to meet provincial standards, and are not inspected by the Ministry of Education. Homeschooling programs are not accredited by the Ministry. Homeschooling parents are required to register their homeschooled children with a public, independent, Francophone or distance education school. Provincial funding is sent to the registering school; no funding is sent directly to parents.

Public schools receive a provincial grant of $250 and Group 1 independent schools $175 for each registered homeschooled child.
