Resource Vendor Directory
After consultation with their support teacher, parents may purchase curriculum from vendors of their choice. Vendors on the list below have provided instructions on the best way to make a purchase from them. Please read the instructions carefully and make your order as indicated in the instructions. A vendor's inclusion on this list does not imply HCOS endorses their product. Families are encouraged to research each curriculum carefully prior to purchasing to ensure it is a good pedagogical and philosophical fit.
Families may also wish to take a look at these Curriculum Picks, which are "all-in-one kits" perfect for assisting the beginner homeschooler. Additionally, our Curriculum Consultant has pulled together a list of Curriculum choices to help parents learn more.
All purchasing MUST be completed by 11:59 pm on April 15th for the current school year. Remember, even if your favourite is not on this list, the chances are that we can get it for you! Let us help you! Email tgerk@onlineschool.ca to start the process.
Please Note: Parents who order from International vendors to Canada are responsible for any customs or brokerage fees. Unfortunately, parents CANNOT ship to a US address, as HCOS, as the owner of the curriculum, would be liable for brokerage and customs fees.
Information about HCOS Purchase Order (PO) Numbers
HCOS (PO) numbers are issued after successful enrollment and receipt of all required documentation. You will need a PO number to order or buy directly from these vendors as schools are not able to reimburse parents for curriculum purchases.
Lessons: Can be billed in two installments (September to January and February to June). Separate invoices are required for each installment.
Returns: All refunds and credits are made to HCOS, not to parents. Credits must be used to purchase further materials from the vendor.
Vendor Refund and Purchasing Policies: Please carefully read over each vendors refund and purchasing policies prior to making a purchase.

Online orders are completed within the store and require the PO# along with the student's and parent's full name to complete the transaction. If it is something we do not carry on a regular basis then we require payment up front for the products/books. Normally ordering something that is not regularly carried takes about 2 weeks to come to the store. If it is a purchase in store, then we would require the same information as an online order. There is a possibility that in future we will require the phone number of the customer.
