Home Based Education

Light of Christ Catholic Schools administers Home-Based Education for students living within the LOCCS attendance area.

INFORMATION REGARDING HOME-BASED EDUCATION FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR

Home-Based Education requires the parent of the child to take over the role as the educator. Parents are responsible for setting the goals for the child for the year, gathering the materials and resources they intend to use, and delivering the instruction and assessment for their child. This is different from “remote learning”, where the school is more closely involved with the instruction and assessment of the child.

If you choose to register your child in Home-Based Education, you must submit the required registration forms (see below).  To qualify for the Home-Based Education Grant for the purchase of educational materials ($650.00 per grade 1-12 student and $165 per kindergarten school student), you must have your Home-Based Education registration forms submitted by August 15, to continue in the Home-Based Education program. This funding will be issued to families at the end of January. Registration can be submitted to: [email protected] with the subject line Attention Home School Consultant
