SHARED RESPONSIBIITY
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
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.
To qualify for a Shared Responsibility program:
FOR GRADES 1 TO 3 - Language Arts and Math will be taken with the Online Program and Science and Social Studies will be taken with the Home Ed program.
FOR GRADES 4 TO 6 - a minimum of 2 of these online courses must chosen: Language Arts, Math, Science, or Social Studies. A maximum of 3 of these 4 core courses may be chosen, however, if a student wants to take all 4 core courses, this would qualify them as an online student. Online options cannot be chosen to be part of the shared program.
FOR GRADES 7 TO 9 - a minimum of 2 of the following core courses must be chosen: Language Arts, Math, Science, or Social Studies. A maximum of 3 of these 4 core courses may be chosen, any more than 3 core courses chosen would qualify the student as a full time online student. PE/Health can also be chosen as part of the shared responsibility program. Online options cannot be chosen to be part of the shared program.
FOR GRADES 10 TO 12 - a minimum of 20% or 7 credits to a maximum of 80% or 28 credits can be chosen as a shared responsibility program. Anything more than 28 credits would qualify the student as an online student.
Let's look at some examples:
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.
If a grade 12 student wanted to share English 30, CALM20 and two CTR courses online - this student would be 29% online (or 10/35) and 71% home education. This would make the funding for the home education portion to be 71% of $901 equaling $639.70.
