Parent-Directed Home Education programming (Kindergarten - Grade 12) adheres to the provincial Home Education Regulation. Parents have maximum input into their children's program designs. This program allows the most flexibility in terms of the educational focus for the school year - including the selection of learning activities, resources, and forms of assessment. The parent takes on the sole responsibility of teaching their child/children. An Argyll teacher facilitator is available throughout the year to answer parent questions, and meets with the family twice during progress reviews.
Registration for this Program is now closed until 2026.
Please ensure you understand your responsibilities in the Parent-Directed home education program handbook. You can find that information here.
