"My children have built close friendships over the years through field trips, learning camps, and community class.”
“The choice of camps, the varied learning objectives that they covered and the reminders and directions for logging on, were all excellent.“
“There were oodles of virtual learning camps this year which kept us from feeling isolated when it came to learning in a collaborative setting.“

“My students enjoyed the hands-on and engaging science lessons at Abbotsford CC. Their learning was fun and interactive.”
Our whole family attended the White Hatter talk today. It was amazing… The geo tagging that he explained really got me!!!”
“Virtual learning camps enriched the lives of our three children along with friends and many other students we saw online enjoying the LC’s with us. In this time where we had to be apart, these camps brought us together.”
“Our CC teacher was happy to work with families, and valued students' personal needs in how she manages her classes. I always felt welcome to bring difficulties and problems to her, knowing she will work with the situation to find a mutually beneficial solution.“
“We joined CC this year and our teacher was sensitive to our children’s needs being new to in person classes this year. She kept in very close contact with me to make sure they were getting the best possible experience for their educational needs. Both of my children grew in confidence through the year.”
“I chose HCOS because it offers local Face to Face learning opportunities and it is important to me that my children are given a robust and varied education that honours them as a person.”
