Shared responsibility allows you to mix Online learning with Home Education learning; giving you the best of both worlds! To be honest, a lot of Home Ed parents are not too fond of Math and/or Science for example and by doing a shared program, you can register your child to do Math and Science in Online Learning and then do the rest of your courses with Home Ed Learning. A Shared Responsibility program is offered for students in Grades 1 to 12.
Shared Responsibility for Grades 1-3
Shared Responsibility for Grades 1-3
Students in our Grades 1-3 online program have the option of a Shared Responsibility Program. The online portion would be made up of Language Arts and Math, two of the four short online classes each day. These classes will be taught by our caring Christian online teacher in partner with a parent/guardian. Parents/guardians who choose to do Science and Social Studies under a Home Ed program would be working with their child independently from the online Teacher, but will be assigned a Home Ed facilitator to direct the parent/guardian in their teaching.

If a grade 1 to 3 student wanted to share Social Studies and Science - this student would be two-thirds online and one-third home education. The home education funding would be $297.30.
If a grade 4 to 6 student wanted to share English and Math online - this student would be 40% online (2 out of 5 courses) and 60% home education. The home education funding would be 60% of $901 equaling $540.60
If a grade 7 to 9 student wanted to share Social Studies, Science and PE/Health online - this student would would be 50% online (2.5 out of 5 courses) and 50% home education.
