This blog is about addressing and educating people about the misconceptions of distributed learning from my own experience. There is a vast majority of people who do not realize that there is a difference between distributed learning and homeschooling.

Distributed learning offers the same opportunities as a public high school in BC where the courses are approved by the Ministry of Education and are supervised by a certified teacher in BC. There are specific curriculum guidelines according to required provincial standards, which are identical to the public school system including taking provincial exams. Distributed learning courses are also used as credits towards a high school diploma and admission into post-secondary institutions.

Homeschooling is an alternative method of schooling where a family member, such as a parent, teaches their child or children at home. Home schooling programs are not supervised by a B.C.certified teacher, they are not required to meet provincial standards and they are not inspected by the Ministry of Education. Homeschooling also does not lead to a high school diploma.
