K-9 Learn at Home Program Information

Each family will have unique reasons for wanting educational opportunities tailored to their situation, with a flexible means for learners to complete their elementary school years outside of the traditional classroom setting.

Its main purpose is to establish a plan for your child’s learning that incorporate the big ideas and learning standards following BC’s Curriculum.
