BC Homeschooling Policy
"Homeschooling allows children to work at their own pace and parents to blend family, life and schoolwork into their own schedule. Homeschooling is the full responsibility of the parent, is not supervised by a British Columbia certified teacher, is not required to meet provincial standards, and is not inspected by the Ministry of Education.
 
"Under the School Act, a parent may choose to provide their child with an education outside of a public or an independent school."
