Registration - Process
Update: Registration Closed
As of Friday, Aug. 21st, at 9:00 a.m., Island Discovery will no longer be accepting registrations for full time homelearning.
If you would like to join our waitlist, please fill out the registration form. No one will be able to get back to you until September, and we will only do so if spots become available.
We are very sorry! We have been absolutely inundated with hundreds of new applications in the last few weeks, and even with the ones we have accepted, it is going to be a challenge to support them all in a timely and effective way.
If you are connected to teachers or facilitators of one of our part-time classroom programs, and if there is still room in those programs, your application may still be accepted.
Registration Process
Registration at Island Discovery is ongoing throughout the year. We are supported by Powell River Board of Education with Partners in Educaton (PIE). We will offer the choices of a part-time classroom program or full-time learning at home.
Go to Programs for more information on each of these options.
Additionally, we will offer Grade 8 & 9 cross enrollment and Grade 10 to 12 full time courses or Grade 10 to 12 part time courses.
Families can live anywhere in B.C. and take part in our full-time homelearning option. Part-time classroom participation is only available in select locations.
We use a secure GSuite Education Platform for communication and collaboration with our families. Parents must be willing and able to use this system in order to participate in our program.
Please follow these enrollment steps:
- Initial Call: We direct all inquiries to our founder and principal Allan Saugstad at 604-992-2370. There are many options available. It is important to ensure you are a good fit for the program and that the program is a good fit for you. He is able to thoroughly answer your questions and offer choices.
- Come for a visit: If you are interested in one of our part-time classroom programs, talk with us about scheduling a visit for you and your child, including a possible 1-2 day trial.
