Parent-Directed Program: High School

This first route is the one most home school families are familiar with. The learner simply meets the 22 outcomes of the Alberta parent-directed home education program. An Alberta high school diploma is not awarded and the student does not meet the requirements for post-secondary enrollment.

The second route is to continue a traditional home school program for grade 10 and 11 and then complete the Alberta curriculum for grade 12 courses. Grade 12 core courses will be complete upon successful written completion of an Alberta diploma examination. With MOHC these courses can be completed by two methods: (1) Moodle or Classroom both online or in-person. Alberta curriculum is provided and progress is monitored by an Alberta certified teacher. Students will have access to the teacher for the duration of the course. Choosing the online option still provides the home learner with scheduling flexibility. Credits for the prerequisite grade 10 and 11 courses are awarded retroactively. (2) Parent-directed grade 12 course following Alberta curriculum. Parents submit course marks to MOHC and MOHC registers students for diploma (when required). This route does not meet requirements for an Alberta diploma but can meet post-secondary entrance requirements. Again, parents and students should check with the MOHC school career counsellor to verify that they are meeting the requirements for their program of choice.

Courses can be challenged! Learners can use their own resources to meet Alberta curriculum outcomes. When complete the parent submits the course mark breakdown to MOHC, and MOHC will administer a final assessment. The combination of parent course mark and MOHC’s final assessment becomes the final course grade which is submitted to Alberta Education. Students in Grade 12 are required to write diploma exams above and beyond MOHC final assessments. This method can earn a high school diploma and can meet post-secondary entrance requirements.

MOHC has many high school courses online on both Moodle and Google Classroom; and, we are still building more! This option will provide Alberta curriculum resources and access to an Alberta certified teacher. Through this route a learner can achieve an Alberta high school diploma as well as meet post-secondary requirements.
