The Centre - Overview

Home Learners Program

The Home Learners Program is run out of the Learning Centre at Hume Park, and it is a community-based, fully funded Kindergarten to Grade 8 program for families who choose to take an active role in the education of their children.

The program focuses on a three-way partnership between teachers, parents, and children, while respecting individual learning styles and family goals.  The key to the success of students in our program is the hands-on and active daily involvement of parents in their child’s learning.  Each of our BC certified teachers works with an entire family usually over a number of years.

The Learning Centre is located in the beautiful Hume Park, New Westminster, providing a warm and friendly learning environment, as well as access to the park, urban forest and the Brunette River. Students attend our Learning Centre in Hume Park part-time, to meet others and learn in group settings. While at the Learning Centre, students are engaged in teacher-led activities, based on the BC curriculum. Teachers encourage the child’s natural curiosity and love of learning.

The program includes face-to-face learning on Tuesdays and Thursdays, online workshops for students and parents, personalized learning plans, access to learning resources, and thematic family projects.

We typically offer a variety of programs and classes throughout the year, including Environmental Education, Applied Skills, Music, Art, Drama, Read-Write-Think classes, Exploring Words and Numbers, PE, French, Cooking, Showcase days, and our Family Camp in May.

April 20th – Prinicpal’s Message

Dear Parents/Guardians,
I am providing you another quick update to let you know how much we appreciate your flexibility and adaptability, while we work with your children remotely and online. Many of your children have started to participate in remote classrooms through Google and Microsoft Teams. This has allowed us to continue the rich and meaningful learning that has always been a feature of the Home Learners Program at Hume Park. more
