Frequently asked questions
How does Smartious work with Limestone District School Board (LDSB) homeschool requirements?
Kingston families file the standard Ontario one-time letter with LDSB (Limestone District School Board) or ALCDSB (Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board) declaring intent to homeschool. Both boards accept the letter routinely. Smartious provides curriculum documentation for Queen's, RMC, and other university applications.
Does Smartious help Kingston families apply to Queen's University and RMC?

Queen's Smith School of Business (BCom — among Canada's most competitive), Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, Faculty of Health Sciences (BHSc direct-admit), School of Computing, plus Faculty of Arts and Science all welcome Cambridge applications.
