Do students who are home-schooled participate in the assessment?

No. Students who have been formally withdrawn from the Public School Program, and are home-schooled are not eligible to participate in the assessment.

Note: Many students considered to be “home-schooled” are, in fact, participating in the Public School Program—even if only for a subject or two. Such students may be registered at their local school, and, as such, should be offered the opportunity to participate in the assessment.
