Hi my daughter is in high school and is wanting to finish grade 11 and 12 doing home school or school online. I cant seem to find anything about how she can and the prices. She is not old enough for Neelin off campus either. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

If you are looking to do it through the department google Independent Study Option Manitoba. Courses are $180 each and the firms can all be found at that site. Feel free to message me if you need more info.

I would contact Vincent Massey. They run the VMAP? Program. They offer (or at least they use to) almost every course you can take by modules or online.

Does anyone know if this program still runs or who i should contact about it?

Look up "Westman Homeschool Connection" on facebook and contact one of those lovely ladies. They are a wealth of information and have regular meetings.  
 
If you want to homeschool, just fill out the paperwork and send it in. that's it! John Shaw is the local "helper" if you have any legal questions.  
 
Good luck and have fun!

I second contacting Westman Homeschool Connection. It would be a good way to connect with the rest of the local community.  
 
As for "homeschool", you will need to get an idea what you and your daughter mean and what that will look like. There's about a million options over and above doing the MB curriculum at home.  
 
You will need to figure out your daughter's goals and reasons why she wants to homeschool, and go from there. If you haven't read the provincial website, go here (there are more tabs on the left-hand side):http://www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/schools/ind/homeschool/index.html

I was looking on the website and it says there is a home school liaison. I was just wondering what that was. Does that have to do with the VMAP program?

Do you get financial, by the gov't payed to teach your kids at home??

The Home School Liason's roles are usually to monitor attendance, etc. and they have them in all schools.

Just contact the school by # or email. I'm sure they would be happy to point you in the right direction.
