School Spotlight: Home Quest - District-Wide Program

Delta’s Home Quest program is a collaborative partnership between the BC Ministry of Education and Child Care, the Delta School District and families seeking an alternative to traditional classroom-based instruction. The program is designed for students living throughout British Columbia in Kindergarten to Grade 9.

Home Quest is a Provincial Online School that offers students a range of online and in-person opportunities to enhance and broaden their educational experiences. Students have the option to engage in both teacher-led learning through in-person and virtual class in combination with self-directed at home learning that is led by a home facilitator and supported by HQ staff. We are a blended, choice program.

Home Quest students have access to Delta School District’s teachers, educational resources, provincial curriculum materials, and optional hands-on learning experiences. We support families in maintaining effective learning and assessment practices. We offer flexible learning opportunities, while following the guidelines of the BC Ministry of Education and Child Care for Provincial Online Learning.

Home Quest students are provided with online learning activities and courses through the Brightspace platform. Teachers offer both in-person and virtual classes, as well as a weekly outdoor class option. When not attending an optional weekly class, students learn with the guidance of a Home Facilitator which is supplied by the family. Together, the student and Home Facilitator (which tends to be a parent or family member) explore the curriculum independently at home with resources approved by the Home Quest teacher. Home Facilitators are responsible for uploading and providing evidence of learning to their Home Quest teacher. Formal Delta School District report cards and feedback on student progress are provided through the Home Quest program.

Home Quest

As you begin researching Online Learning programs, you will find Home Quest is unique. At Home Quest, we are focused on flexibility and blending the family’s vision of education with the Ministry guidelines.

Home Quest is a blended program, sitting in the middle of the continuum between Traditional and Homeschool and between Homeschool and strictly Online Learning. We are a Provincial Online School and thereby follow the Provincial Online Guidelines set out by the Ministry of Education. See Online Learning BC

Our professional, B.C. certified teachers are experienced in the Online, Traditional and Homeschool educational models and philosophies. We are open-minded and creative in assisting a family with their journey. Home Quest does not assign a set curriculum to our community of learners, but helps to create each student’s path – one child and one family at a time, creating the ultimate in diversified learning. 

Part of the Delta School District, we are located on the bottom floor at Annieville Elementary located in North Delta. 9240 112 Street Delta BC.

Nautsa’ Mawt:  Outdoor Learning Grades 1-7

We are fortunate to get to learn, discover, connect and play out on the area surrounding Boundary Bay School located on the traditional territory of the scəw̓ aθən məsteyəxʷ 1 (Tsawwassen) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm 2 (Musqueam) First Nations and of all the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ 3 speaking people who have been stewards of this land since time immemorial.

Our outdoor program works to explore our community from and Indigenous Perspective through the Naut sa’ Mawt and First Peoples Principles of Learning. We spend our mornings investigating, observing the land and living things that inhabit the area. Our afternoons often involve time in our story studio creating, connecting and sharing.
