What is the SelfDesign Learning Community?
The SelfDesign Learning Community (SDLC) is a government-certified learning option in British Columbia, formally identified as a Group 1 Independent School. As well, though all our learners live and learn in their own homes, SDLC is not considered “homeschooling” by the Ministry of Education but rather a government-funded and certified “Distributed Learning” (Internet-based) program. We refer to our program as a “learning community” comprised of a network of families and Learning Consultants that support children learning in their homes and in their community in a manner determined by the child and family. It is through our mutual support that parents, children and Learning Consultants create a synergistic learning community that is much more than the sum of our parts.
