RCOA is a Group I (K-12) Christian Distributed Learning School fully authorized by the Ministry of Education (Office of the Inspector of Independent Schools). We believe it is our goal and mandate to support Christian families as they “train up their children” according to biblical principles. Before filling out our online application forms each family should read thoroughly over Vision and Mission For Students that includes our Core Values and Academic Principles as well as our Statement of Faith.
If you are in agreement with who we are, then please proceed to our Home Learning Options link to determine which kind of learning at home is best for your family. If you choose to be a Registered Homeschooler, then please proceed to our Admissions Page and click on HS Registration. If, however, you have decided that you are interested in being a Distributed Learning family, then please read first our Student Learning Plans, Progress Reports and Portfolios page. This will prepare you for the responsibilities of DL. Then please refer to our “ What You Get” page, to be aware of the benefits of being DL, especially the Curriculum and Program Activities Budget, and the Resource Centre pages. After being fully informed of the responsibilities and benefits, please then proceed to the Admissions page and click on DL Enrolment. Please fill out the online form and send that to us. If accepted, you will receive a confirming letter within 1 to 2 days. Please be aware that in order to receive educational benefits from the British Columbia Ministry of Education, each parent will have to provide:
1) A photocopy of the child’s birth certificate
2) Medical emergency numbers
3) Health concerns information
4) Doctor’s name and contact numbers
5) Care card number
6) Guardian’s home and work contact information
7) Parent/Guardian verificationi) Lawfully admitted to Canada
ii) Resident of British Columbia
A request for these forms will be sent to you once your enrolment as a DL family has been confirmed.
On behalf of the staff, I welcome you to the ministry of Regent Christian Online Academy. May the Lord honour and bless our working together.
Mr. Mark Langley Principal – RCOA
