What is the difference between Homeschooling and Distance Learning in BC?
In British Columbia, The Homeschooling Act of 1989 grants parents the legal right to homeschool and to provide an educational program of their choice for their children. Children must be registered at any school in BC, such as Wondertree’s HLN (Home Learning Network). Independent schools receive approximately $175/homeschooling child. Most do not return any of this funding to families. HLN returns $125 to families. Although no support is provided, parents are considered the teachers and do not have to meet any reporting requirements.
