Frequently asked questions
How does Saskatchewan school division registration work for homeschoolers?
Saskatchewan requires registration with your local school division (Saskatoon Public, Regina Public, Greater Saskatoon Catholic, etc.). Submit annual Educational Plan describing curriculum and objectives. Some divisions offer modest funding ($500-$1,500 CAD/year) — funding amount and conditions vary by division. The Saskatchewan Home Based Educators (SHBE) provides community support.
How much does Smartious cost for Saskatchewan families after division funding?
Tuition starts from USD 423 per month, roughly 545 CAD at current exchange, and provincial funding where available offsets a meaningful portion of it. Request pricing through the enrolment form and we send the full structure, including your net cost after funding, the same day.
Is Smartious recognized by University of Saskatchewan and University of Regina?
Yes. University of Saskatchewan (U of S), University of Regina (U of R), First Nations University of Canada, Saskatchewan Polytechnic, and Briercrest College all accept Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level qualifications. U of S's competitive Medicine and Veterinary Medicine direct-admission pathways particularly value Cambridge A-Level Biology + Chemistry depth.
What's the live class schedule for Saskatchewan families?
Live classes run 7 AM – 4 PM Central Standard Time. Note: Saskatchewan does NOT observe Daylight Saving Time, so the relative time to other provinces shifts twice yearly. During winter (when most Canadian provinces are on Standard Time), Saskatchewan aligns with Manitoba CT. During summer (when most provinces are on Daylight Time), Saskatchewan effectively aligns with Mountain Time. Recordings allow flexibility regardless.
Can my Saskatchewan child do Cambridge IGCSE/A-Level instead of Saskatchewan Curriculum?
Yes. U of S, U of R, and other Saskatchewan universities accept Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level qualifications as equivalent to Saskatchewan high school graduation. Some families combine Cambridge with Saskatchewan credits through Saskatchewan Distance Learning Centre (SDLC) — the dual-pathway approach particularly benefits students targeting U of S Veterinary Medicine or competitive professional programmes.
