Prairie South School Division recognizes the right of parents residing within the school division to choose home-based instruction for their children.
Students participating in home-based education are students of the school division, and are required to be registered as such.

The Ministry of Education recently renewed the Home-based Education Program policy effective for the 2012-2013 school year. The documents below contain highlights and important notes for parents. For additional resources, please go the the Ministry of Education website: http://www.education.gov.sk.ca/Home-Schooling.

Grade 10, 11, 12 Credits

The Sask. Ministry of Education does not recognize credits for home-based courses in grades 10, 11 and 12.  To qualify for course recognized credits, students must attend a recognized instructional institution or receive the course credit via correspondence or on-line classes.  Please see Home-Based Education - How Can Students Earn Secondary Level Credits? and Credit Requirements for further information (provided by the Ministry of Education).
