Through our Provincial Online Learning School (POLS), our district is proudly offering a few programs to support learners who are looking for options:
- Our Home Learners Program (HLP) supports kids in kindergarten through grade 8, and
- New West Online Learning, offering online learning options for students (including adults) who are working on courses at the grade 9 to 12 level
Both programs offer support to students and parents in very different ways. But both also centre around having certified BC teachers leading and guiding lessons and curriculum that keep students learning and engaged in their educational journeys.
Home Learners Program
The Home Learners Program (HLP) is a teacher-led distributed learning program that provides options for families who prefer to have their students educated in the home, with some in-person opportunities worked in. This program provides choice and flexibility for children and parents to partner with the public education system in designing learning experiences that are unique to each family.
If you are interested in learning more about our Home Learners Program, we encourage you to read more on the HLP website: Home Learners Program, or contact staff at 604-517-5980.
The HLP Program is run out of the Hume Park Learning Centre: 521 Fader Street, New Westminster, V3L 3T4
