Home Based Learning (HBL)

Objectives

Home-Based Learning (HBL) days are meant to complement, and not substitute, in-school learning. They provide students with more opportunities to learn independently and to be more self-directed in their learning. They will continue to have opportunities on these days to learn with and interact with their fellow students. Our students will thus benefit from both in-school and home-based modes of learning.
Having HBL days scheduled about twice a month for secondary school and pre-university students represents about 10% of curriculum time in an academic year. This is a good balance that allows students to experience HBL often enough to develop the skills and mindsets to become more independent and self-directed learners, without unduly compromising the in-person learning experience in schools.

Information For Parents

Information on home based learning days will be sent through Parents' Gateway at the start of the semester.
