What’s the difference between “Enroll” and “Register”?

Enrolling:

  • You want the support and guidance of a BC certified teacher
  • You want feedback on your student’s work
  • You want the funding allocated to enrolled students for curricular support
  • You want full access to all the support options available to students at HCOS
  • You are committed to regular reporting and communication with your teacher

Registering:

  • You want to direct your home education program without the support of a teacher
  • You do not want the requirements of reporting
  • You do not want resource funding

Enrolling

Enroll as a home education student.

Please select the option that best describes you:

Re-Enrollment

Families currently enrolled with HCOS can re-enroll through Encom for the upcoming school year beginning mid-January until mid-Spring, after which you can call the office to inquire about re-enrolling.

Registering

Register as a Traditional homeschooler

The registered option is an alternative method of home learning. This approach provides the freedom to school outside of the BC educational system. We welcome and support registered students by providing support from our Registered Homeschool Liaison, and access to resources in the Learning Commons.

The Registered program is currently full and we are unable to accept any further applications.
