Online homeschool in Gatineau, Quebec
Live Cambridge IGCSE & A-Level for Gatineau and Outaouais families. Built for UQO, uOttawa, Carleton, McGill, plus Ivy League and UK applications. Bilingual DEM documentation. From USD 423 per month.
Gatineau federal civil service and bilingual families particularly value Cambridge IGCSE/A-Level because the qualifications transfer between Quebec and Ontario university applications — a Gatineau child can apply to UQO, uOttawa (across the river), McGill, or Université Laval with the same Cambridge transcript. Plus Quebec DEM compliance is achievable with bilingual documentation.
Gatineau is the Quebec-side National Capital Region — across the Ottawa River from Ottawa, federal civil servants commute daily, and the bilingual context creates unique homeschool opportunities. Université du Québec en Outaouais (UQO) provides francophone post-secondary access, while Cambridge IGCSE/A-Level positions students for both Quebec and Ontario university pathways.

Frequently asked questions
How does Smartious work with Quebec DEM for Gatineau families?
Gatineau is in Quebec, so families file the annual learning project with the Direction de l'enseignement à la maison (DEM) by July 1, mid-year status report by January 15, and final evaluation by July 1. Smartious provides bilingual (English/French) curriculum documentation supporting DEM compliance. We have experience with DEM evaluators serving Outaouais families.

Yes. Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level qualifications are recognised by both Quebec universities (UQO, McGill, Université Laval, Concordia, UdeM) and Ontario universities (uOttawa, Carleton, UofT, Waterloo) — Gatineau families benefit from the cross-river flexibility.
