Why FDS?
Our families say:
We have loved being a part of Hub@home this year. The online learning meetings have been a highlight for my child as he interacts with his classroom teacher and peers.
We like that she can complete more courses in a term once she has completed others.
There is so much positive connection with the teachers great work environment, endless information help.
He loves online schooling .. the freedom of deciding how to plan his day, if he finishes his work early, he can have the rest of the day off and the flexibility overall works well for him. He's also really come a long way with his initiative and drive to complete his work. Classroom school was generally stressful for him .. he's an introvert and found many aspects of it difficult.
He was able to work at his own pace without the distractions in the classroom.
Schooling at home worked well for our kids and it allowed us to still be tied to the Division/AB Education.
My child was struggling at school with the noise.. We joined hub@home because we hoped it would work better for him, and we believe it has.
I like being able to see what he's learning, discuss his work with him and help if he needs it.

Environmental Stewardship Project
Engage in designing for our unique learning environment
In this project, the grade sevens had to demonstrate how the Habitants created settlements in New France under the Seigneurial System. Their task was to create a seigneurial farm and describe the elements that were included, based on their research, that helped these early Canadians to survive and thrive.
