HCOS Learning Groups Information
This page provides information and resources related to HCOS Learning Groups.
Welcome to HCOS Learning Groups!
HCOS Learning Groups are committed to offering innovative, Christ-centered educational opportunities for home learners virtually and in person, through a variety of activities offered in communities around the province. We support home educating families by actively exploring and experiencing a range of knowledge and skills while nurturing our relationships with God and with each other.
As you consider all that HCOS has to offer, including Learning Group opportunities posted to date, I encourage you to look at the family resources and information posted on our HCOS and LG website which may address questions you may have at this time and to become familiar with this SOPHIE page outlining our protocols.
