CBE Home Education may be exclusively done in the home, or combined in the home and in a school setting at the Bel-Aire School location. Home Education offices and classes operate Monday to Thursday.
Any family who is a resident of the Calgary Board of Education may register with CBE Home Education Program. Alberta Homeschoolers able to meet for a face-to-face meeting three times per year may also register with CBE Home Education. We do have families from Okotoks, Cochrane, Airdrie and other towns near Calgary.
This program is designed for families who wish to be responsible for offering a program of studies for their child by developing, administering, managing and evaluating the progress of their student, and maintaining a record of those studies.

Through our Bel-Aire School location, we offer both a parent-directed and a shared responsibility program to families who wish to be responsible for developing, administering, managing and evaluating a program of educational studies for their child.

School Development Plan
Each year, our school prepares a development plan with input from teachers, school staff, students and parents. We review many sources of data, including report cards, provincial achievement test results and school surveys. Based on this information, we create our plan identifying targeted areas for growth. Our school development plan is not meant to represent all of the work that takes place in our school, but rather it focuses on specific areas for improvement.

School Improvement Results Report
Our school also prepares a results plan, which looks at our previous school year. It shows our students’ achievement and progress in meeting the goals and outcomes as set out by the CBE and Alberta Education, outlines some of the highlights of our school development plan and gives an overview of our school. You can look on the CBE website for system-wide results.
