The Home Education Exchange has been, and continues to be, successful in working with students at the high school levels and helping to prepare them for post-secondary education, whether that is at college, universities, or technical schools.

The Home Education Regulations require parents and students to provide evidence of learning that has occurred in the home.

The Home Education Exchange encourages families to utilize the Portfolio Method for assessment. The portfolio may contain sample work, tests or even photographs (i.e., science projects, experiments) of each subject being taught. Sample work from each subject quarterly is sufficient to complete the portfolio.

Each year, The Home Education Exchange sends out a Program Plan form to parents along with the Notification Forms.

The Facilitator will work with new home education parents to build a successful and meaningful Program Plan. Because our Facilitators are familiar and experienced in home schooling, they are able to offer a vast array of suggestions and ideas to help make your years exciting and memorable.

The Home Education Exchange will assign a Facilitator to families who are new to us each year.

The Home Education Exchange understands the value in building a working relationship with individual families, and will assign the existing facilitator to families as per previous registered years unless the family requests otherwise on their Notification Form.

In keeping with the Home Education Regulations, The Home Education Exchange requires two home visits and one telephone contact be made throughout each school year.
