SelfDesign Learning Community
Re-enrol as soon as possible to ensure your child’s place with SelfDesign Learning Community
We are pleased to announce that re-enrolment for SelfDesign Learning Community opens March 10, for learners who are currently enrolled in our kindergarten to grade 12 program.
We ask all families with learners who are completing the current learning year with SelfDesign Learning Community and wish to join us again next year to re-enrol current learners and additional siblings before April 5. Families who do not re-enrol before April 5, 2022 will be placed on the waitlist.

Transfer requests from SelfDesign Home Learning to SelfDesign Learning Community
Families with children currently registered with SelfDesign Home Learning can request to transfer their child or children to SelfDesign Learning Community, our full-time enrolment program, where learners are supported by an educator and there are weekly program expectations.
It is important that all families who wish to transfer to SelfDesign Learning Community submit their application between March 10 and April 5, 2022. After April 5, we will begin inviting new families on the waitlist to enrol and cannot guarantee space will be available.

Waitlist for SelfDesign Learning Community
After April 5, we will begin inviting families who are currently on our waitlist to enrol. However, we cannot guarantee space will be available. If you are new to SelfDesign and are interested in enrolling a child in our kindergarten to grade 12 program, please go to selfdesign.org/programs/enrol to find out how to join our waitlist.
Support Services waitlist
Please note that we are currently maintaining a waitlist for all new learners, including siblings of current learners, who have a special education designation, have or have had an individualized education plan (IEP), or other requirements for additional support. If any child you would like to enrol in SelfDesign Learning Community has those requirements and you would like to be added to the waitlist, please choose “New Learner” under the “Support Services” option on our enrolment site to fill out an expression of interest and an intake conversation will be arranged.
SelfDesign Home Learning
Returning learners
We begin accepting re-registrations for Self Design Home Learning on March 10. We encourage families who are re-registering children in this homeschooling program option to complete their application before April 5.
New registrations for SelfDesign Home Learning open April 5
We will begin accepting new registrants for SelfDesign Home Learning, our homeschool program April 5.
SelfDesign Home Learning is the most flexible SelfDesign option if you wish to take on the responsibility for your child’s education and you are not concerned with BC Ministry of Education requirements. With SelfDesign Home Learning, families do not work with an educator and parents take responsibility for their children’s learning program and do not report to the school.
Because families registered in this program do not work with B.C. certified educators, there are no limits on the number of learners accepted into SelfDesign Home Learning. More than 460 learners registered with this program in the last learning year.
Under the provincial School Act, parents who wish to homeschool their children are required to register their children in a recognized school, such as SelfDesign Learning Community.
